=== Can't log in after upgrading to {version}
22+
23+
*Symptoms:*
24+
25+
* Native realm credentials don't work after $version upgrade or snapshot restore.
26+
* Error message: "Security index is not on the current version - the native
27+
realm will not be operational until the upgrade API is run on the security index"
28+
29+
*Resolution:*
30+
31+
You must manually upgrade the `.security` index to the 6.x format. For
32+
instructions, see
33+
{stack-ref}/upgrading-elastic-stack.html#upgrade-internal-indices[Upgrading
34+
internal indices].
35+
36+
There are two situations where it's necessary to manually upgrade the
37+
`.security` index:
38+
39+
* After upgrading directly to $version from 5.5 or earlier.
40+
* After restoring a snapshot from 5.5 or earlier that contains a `.security`
41+
index in the old format to a 6.0 cluster.
