Kibana, which was working fine until now, can no longer be accessed. The cause is that I added x-pack configuration to elasticsearch in order to introduce Workplace Search. Using the basic license of x-pack, I want to use both elasticsearch and Workplace Search. What settings do I need to do for this? Specifically, I have made the following statement. ```auto $vi /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml xpack.security.enabled: true xpack.security.authc.api_key.enabled: true xpack: security: authc: realms: native: native1: order: 0 ``` ---

This is the Elasticsearch security config, but did you configure Kibana as well? See this guide: [Configure security in Kibana | Kibana Guide [7.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/using-kibana-with-security.html) ---

Thank you for your comment. No, it is not. I don't currently have any settings on the Kibana side. I should. Is there any configuration required to live with WorkplaceSearch? ---

I'm no expert on workplace search, this seems to be the relevant documentation: [User Management and Security | Workplace Search Guide [7.13] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/workplace-search/current/workplace-search-security.html) ---

Thank you for your comment. I have also seen that URL and set it up. I think this is the recommended setting, but I can't figure out what setting I am missing. I think I messed up the tagging. Should I ask the question again on WorkplaceSearch? ---
