How to disable elasticsearch 5.0 authentication?
In a test environment I added the following option to elasticsearch.yml, and/or kibana.yml
xpack.security.enabled: false
assuming that your image name is elasticsearch. you can use id if you don't like name
if you run docker you can use this. go to bash in docker with command
docker exec -i -t elasticsearch /bin/bashthen remove x-pack
elasticsearch-plugin remove x-packexit docker
exitand restart docker image
docker restart elasticsearchDisclamer: Solution inspired by Michał Dymel
When using with docker (in local dev), instead of removing the xpack, you can simply disable it.
docker pull docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:5.5.3docker run -p 9200:9200 \ -p 9300:9300 \ -e "discovery.type=single-node" \ -e "xpack.security.enabled=false" \ docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:5.5.3
