I use last stable version of kibana/elastic search 5.0.0, using docker, and when disabling x-pack security using (xpack.security.enabled : false), on both kibana & elasticsearch.

On kibana is OK, but on elasticsearch i need always login/password

Hey,

can you copy/paste the docker command you ran this with, and omit the `-d` parameter, so we can see the output? I just had the same issue and figured out that I was still running an old docker image on version `5.0.0-beta1`. After running `docker pull` everything was fine.

Thanks for your replay, the probleme is the config folder, in docker even a config file is present in /etc/elasticsearch, the real used file is in this folder /usr/share/elasticsearch/config
