Hi I am new to Elastic. I have just installed Elasticsearch and Kibana. I am able to hit Elasticsearch on my browser. I configured it with basic security. I am now trying to connect with Kibana and I get "Kibana server is not ready yet" displayed on the browser. When I looked at the kibana.log the error message was:
["error","savedobjects-service"],"pid":412971,"message":"[.kibana] Action failed with 'security\_exception: [security\_exception] Reason: action [indices:admin/mapping/put] is unauthorized for user [elastic] wit
h roles [superuser] on restricted indices [.kibana\_7.17.4\_001], this action is granted by the index privileges [manage,all]'
In my kibana.yml file I have used my Elasticsearch user and password as below:
```auto
elasticsearch.username: "elastic"
elasticsearch.password: "MyPasswordHere"
```
Thanks in advance for any help you could give me.

Hi,
So the elasticsearch.username here is for kibana\_system as you can see in the commented lines in kibana.yml. Did you set up the password? Here is our doc which explains it.
> **[Built-in users | Elasticsearch Guide \[7.17\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.17/built-in-users.html)**
# If your Elasticsearch is protected with basic authentication, these settings provide
# the username and password that the Kibana server uses to perform maintenance on the Kibana
# index at startup. Your Kibana users still need to authenticate with Elasticsearch, which
# is proxied through the Kibana server.
#elasticsearch.username: "kibana\_system"
#elasticsearch.password: "pass"
Thanks,
Bhavya

Hi thanks for your reply. I used the Elasticsearch-reset-password command to set my password and used that password in the Elasticsearch.password field. I used the built-in user elastic for the Elasticsearch.username field.

You need to use the `kibana_system` user for connecting kibana to elasticsearch as suggested above.

I'm sorry I misunderstood. Thanks both of you.
Best regards,
