Kibana Config
#server.port: 5601
# Specifies the address to which the Kibana server will bind. IP addresses and host names are both valid values.

# This setting cannot end in a slash.
#server.basePath: ""
# Specifies whether Kibana should rewrite requests that are prefixed with

Hello @tbhaxor!
Can you show us your readonlyrest.yml?
Did you also make sure to disable xpack security in elasticsearch.yml?
This is our documentation for the Kibana plugin, for reference.
readonlyrest.yml
readonlyrest:
access_control_rules:
- name: "Require HTTP Basic Auth"
type: allow
auth_key: user:password
And yes xpack is disabled both in kibana and elasticsearch
My bad, the username was wrong
