I Enabeld Xpack in elasticsearch.yml.  
In kibana.yml I added: Elastisearch.usrname: kibana  
Elasticsearch.password:my password  
but itt only allows me to log in with elastic user.  
I tried using Incognito and to deleted my stored cookies, it didnt help.  
I also tried to create a new user giving him a role of kibana user, when i try to log in with the new user kibana displays invalid user name or password.  
How can I log in with a different user other then elastic?

The more details you provide, the easier it is to help you.

Can you please provide your exact setup, including:

- your elasticsearch.yml file
- the details of the user you are trying to login as.
