hi

i have installed 6.1.1 versions of both elastic and kibana and configured the client with metricbeat , i can see the data is comming and index is create , i can curl it with username nad password , everything is fine , but when i try to open kibana , and after i logged in , then i click on the discover tab , there pop up an authentication error ,

rror: [object Object]: [security_exception] missing authentication token for REST request [/metricbeat-/_field_caps?fields=&ignore_unavailable=true&allow_no_indices=false], with { header={ WWW-Authenticate="Basic realm="security" charset="UTF-8"" } }

Hi @ijazadm, this is probably an error in kibana configuration, have a look to https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/security-settings-kb.html.

I'm moving this topic to Kibana
