"Apologies" if this is a repetitive question  
I am trying to configure "8.15.2" on Windows on http. I want to configure with user name and password. I am not seeing any proper document for it. Could you please help me to configure it.

Welcome!

Did you read [Install Elasticsearch with .zip on Windows | Elasticsearch Guide [8.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/zip-windows.html)

I think that's the best place to start.

I read it bit by bit. But didn't find such document which can give me a proper configuration with http.

Note: With _ **http** _ not _ **https** _

Are you setting up a single- or multi-node cluster?

I think you need to set

```auto
xpack.security.http.ssl.enabled=false

```

Note that there's a new documentation which helps to start quickly a local instance: [Run Elasticsearch locally | Elasticsearch Guide [8.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/run-elasticsearch-locally.html)
