**According to the official website of the latest tutorial, I tried a new installation of the 6.0 version of my server aws, using aws linux system, elasticsearch and kibana are installed on a machine, but my kibana can not start the login function, the following is my Installation process:**

> Blockquote  
> wget [https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-6.0.0.rpm](https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch/elasticsearch-6.0.0.rpm)  
> rpm -ivh elasticsearch-6.0.0.rpm

wget [https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-6.0.0-x86\_64.rpm](https://artifacts.elastic.co/downloads/kibana/kibana-6.0.0-x86_64.rpm)  
rpm -ivh kibana-6.0.0-x86\_64.rpm

service elasticsearch start  
/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin install x-pack  
/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/x-pack/setup-passwords auto

/usr/share/kibana/bin/kibana-plugin install x-pack

**this is my setup-passwords, and my modify kibana.yml elasticsearch.username, elasticsearh.password**

> Blockquote  
> /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/x-pack/setup-passwords auto  
> Initiating the setup of reserved user elastic,kibana,logstash\_system passwords.  
> The passwords will be randomly generated and printed to the console.

Changed password for user kibana  
PASSWORD kibana = aiQTxnjMwknwnF42-7wB

Changed password for user logstash\_system  
PASSWORD logstash\_system = 2ygbHwG#R4sr\*Ikv3hAB

Changed password for user elastic  
PASSWORD elastic = dh33f3t%B$%q#inok?ek

Login is currently disabled. Administrators should consult the Kibana logs for more details.

What exactly did you put in your kibana.yml ?

What do the Kibana logs say?

You shouldn't use the `elastic` user for connecting Kibana to Elasticsearch. That is what the`kibana` user is for. The elastic user has superuser privileges and it is not a good idea to run Kibana with those privileges.

Kibana will default to using the `kibana` user, so you just need to configure the `elasticsearch.password` setting to match the Kibana user's password.

However the issue here is that you have a connectivity issue between Kibana and Elasticsearch, and to diagnose that, we need to see the Kibana logs.
