Does anyone successfully configured the latest AppSearch Docker image ([http://docker.elastic.co/app-search/app-search:7.5.1](http://docker.elastic.co/app-search/app-search:7.5.1)) with [Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes | Deploy and Orchestrate Elasticsearch on Kubernetes](https://www.elastic.co/products/elastic-cloud-kubernetes) (also 7.5.1) ?

I have set up Elastic App Search in standard security mode.  
I have used default username and password.  
I also have reset the password in AppSearch via:

> bin/app-search --reset-auth

and also in Elasticsearch via:

> POST /\_security/user/app\_search/\_password

Unfortunately nothing is working and can not login to AppSearch (keep getting `Completed 403 Forbidden` in AppSearch logs).

Is there anything specific set in ECK that is not mentioned in AppSearch documentation (https://swiftype.com/documentation/app-search/self-managed/security) ?
