Kibana asking for credentials

I set up a Kibana server that is accesing an External ElasticServer Datasource. Nignx is on top, and I access Kibana through it.

On the initial config, I set up the credentials of Kibana using: 

sudo htpasswd -c /etc/nginx/htpasswd.users kibanaadmin

Then I was able to access the Kibana Web Console, and see it running. However, the external elasticServer was not configured, so I edited the kibana.yml file to point that external ElasticServer. 

elasticsearch.url: "https://bluemix-sandbox-dal-9-portal0.dblayer.com:18671/"
elasticsearch.username: "admin"
elasticsearch.password: "mypass"

When I restarted Kibana, it was able to connect to the elasticsearch server, and in fact it seems that it wrote an entry on the index there.

However, now I am asked for some credentials to get connected to the Kibana Web interface. They are not the kibanaadmin I set up previously, or the ones on elasticsearch database. Which credentials should i use?

Are you sure you're not running Kibana from the wrong ES instance and both Kibana and Nginx are running on the same server. Haven't tried it out personally but then the below links could be handy.
