My kibana and elasticsearch version is 7.9.2

I added elasticsearch.username: and elasticsearch.password: in `kibana.yml` and `docker-compse.yaml` file. And I also added `xpack.security.enabled: true` in kibana.yml and elasticsearch.yml file. After that I restarted my docker conatiner and tried accessing the kibana dashboard but it directs me to the dashboard, login page is not showing. Can anyone help me please? I have shared below my docker-compose.yaml and kibana.yml filles

Here are the complete instructions plus examples

> **[Running the Elastic Stack on Docker | Getting Started \[7.9\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-get-started/7.9/get-started-docker.html#get-started-docker-tls)**

Pay special attention too.

1. At this point, Kibana cannot connect to the Elasticsearch cluster. You must generate a password for the built-in `kibana_system` user, update the `ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD` in the compose file, and restart to enable Kibana to communicate with the secured cluster.

2. Run the `elasticsearch-setup-passwords` tool to generate passwords for all built-in users, including the `kibana_system` user. If you don’t use PowerShell on Windows, remove the trailing `\`characters and join the lines before running this command.

`docker exec es01 /bin/bash -c "bin/elasticsearch-setup-passwords \ auto --batch --url https://es01:9200"`

Make a note of the generated passwords. You must configure the `kibana_system` user password in the compose file to enable Kibana to connect to Elasticsearch, and you’ll need the password for the `elastic` superuser to log in to Kibana and submit requests to Elasticsearch.

1. Set `ELASTICSEARCH_PASSWORD` in the `elastic-docker-tls.yml` compose file to the password generated for the `kibana_system` user.

thanks but I do not have a Gold license, I have a Basic license. Also I do not have Security option as well in the Kibana UI.

Also I tried generating password using `elasticsearch-setup-passwords interactive` but it didn't work.

Does not require gold... Says **IF** you have Gold you must use TLS you have basic you can chose to use TLS or not use TLS with Basic.

You can enable Basic Auth Only

Not sure of your issue I followed those directions worked fine for me.

You should be able to follow those steps but skip the TLS portions.

Did you recreate your containers?
