I'm very new to ELK.

My kibana and elasticsearch version is 6.4.3

I added elasticsearch.username: and elasticsearch.password: in kibana.ymlfile. and i tried to add xpack.security.enabled: true in kibana.yml and elasticsearch.yml file but kibana and elasticsearch is getting crashed/stopped.

crash/stopping not happened with username/password setting in kibana.yml,  
crash/stopping happened only after adding xpack in kibana.yml.

please suggest how to add kibana user login.

[Security for Elasticsearch is free from 6.8 and 7.1](https://www.elastic.co/blog/security-for-elasticsearch-is-now-free). Kindly upgrade to that version.
