URGENT HELP : can't connect to my ES and Kibana after installing shield!

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi everyone,

I've installed the shield to add authentication to my ES !

When I've tried to add a user with an admin role, an error has occured
saying that there is a syntax error in the elif[$ES_INCLUDE]

(I've created the user with the root since I start my ES with the root user
!)

Now, when I try to run Kibana, this error jumps up :

https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-_E2HAz8ry-I/VRv-M7bqcrI/AAAAAAAAAGk/gOfo1qxfn-0/s1600/costin.PNG
And when I try to access to my Marvel plugin, a box showing authentication
required jumps to my face ! when I enter the user I've created (with the
error I mentionned) , I can't access to it !!!

What to do please??! I'm in a huuuuuge hurry !

Ok, I've managed to solve my own problem.

First of all things, if you want to just remove the shield plugin run under
the elasticsearch :

$ bin/plugin --remove shield

Now, to the syntax error in the elef line in the "esusers", generally, when
there is such an error, it's related to things before that line.
In fact there was something like this :
$....done:
correction :
$....done;

Now, we could add users within shield and grunt them the desired role.

But, even if I've done it, I couldn't access to my ES cluster with the "new
born user"; I think because my ES is running as a service and not starting
with bin/elasticsearch, that lead to "misunderstanding."

The solution I found was to transfer the
/usr/share/elasticsearch/config/shield under /etc/elasticsearch
$ln -s /usr/share/elasticsearch/config/shield/ /etc/elasticsearch

And that was it !
Hope that could be of a help for anyone else facing the same problem !
