When you use the basic and trial licenses, the {es} {security-features} are
|
||
|
|
disabled by default. To enable them:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
. Stop {kib}. The method for starting and stopping {kib} varies depending on
|
||
|
|
how you installed it. For example, if you installed {kib} from an archive
|
||
|
|
distribution (`.tar.gz` or `.zip`), stop it by entering `Ctrl-C` on the command
|
||
|
|
line. See {kibana-ref}/start-stop.html[Starting and stopping {kib}].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
. Stop {es}. For example, if you installed {es} from an archive distribution,
|
||
|
|
enter `Ctrl-C` on the command line. See
|
||
|
|
{ref}/stopping-elasticsearch.html[Stopping {es}].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
. Add the `xpack.security.enabled` setting to the
|
||
|
|
`ES_PATH_CONF/elasticsearch.yml` file.

TIP: The `ES_PATH_CONF` environment variable contains the path for the {es}
|
||
|
|
configuration files. If you installed {es} using archive distributions (`zip` or
|
||
|
|
`tar.gz`), it defaults to `ES_HOME/config`. If you used package distributions
|
||
|
|
(Debian or RPM), it defaults to `/etc/elasticsearch`. For more information, see
|
||
|
|
{ref}/settings.html[Configuring {es}].
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, add the following setting:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
[source,yaml]
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
xpack.security.enabled: true
|
||
|
|
----
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
TIP: If you have a basic or trial license, the default value for this setting is
|
||
|
|
`false`. If you have a gold or higher license, the default value is `true`.
|
||
|
|
Therefore, it is a good idea to explicitly add this setting to avoid confusion
|
||
|
|
about whether {security-features} are enabled.
