Hi,
I have created a new Elasticsearch cluster 8.8.0(on Linux) and tried to start kibana. But found this error for the first time.
BTW, kibana\_system/new id's password is set already with APIs.
kibana.yml
server.port: 5601
server.host: 0.0.0.0
elasticsearch.username: "kib\_admin"
elasticsearch.password: "kib\_admin"
elasticsearch.hosts: [[https://srv.fqdn:9200](https://srv.fqdn:9200)]

Is this method user ID/password authentication deprecated? Can someone suggest what I am doing wrong

Please format your code/logs/config using the `` button, or markdown style back ticks. It helps to make things easy to read which helps us help you 🙂
Can you successfully curl Elasticsearch with the details you are defining in your Kibana config?
