Thanks Alexander,  
I was able to enable Auth following the links you shared. One observation, Elastic hosts were complaining about " [java.security.cert.CertificateException: No subject alternative names present while connecting to domain names](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/java-security-cert-certificateexception-no-subject-alternative-names-present-while-connecting-to-domain-names/114804)". So, I turned off the host verification with  
xpack.security.transport.ssl.verification\_mode: certificate  
After the password setup and restarting the elastic cluster, auth started working.  
Had to add elastic.user to Kibana keystore for kiabana connectivity.  
Thanks for your guidance!
