Hi fellows,  
I installed elk stack as docker containers with podman in RHEL9. Now after generating the enrollment token for elasticsearch I would like to configure KIBANA but I get this error message:  
" Maximum number of attempts exceeded. Restart Kibana to generate a new code and retry."  
So I reinstalled and restarted KIBANA container and retried but no success. What do I have to do to fix that error?

Many thanks in advance  
Uli
