Problem configuring imbedded Elasticsearch (Bitbucket)

Question

I am trying to configure the imbedded instance of Elasticsearch in my new Bitbucket install.  I have added the following lines to the bitbucket.properties file:

plugin.search.elasticsearch.baseurl=http://ibc-qctappd01:7992/

plugin.search.elasticsearch.username=username

plugin.search.elasticsearch.password=password

but when I restart the Bitbucket and Elasticsearch services (Windows Server 2016), and press the TEST button in the Admin screen, I am greeted by the following response:

"Access to Elasticsearch was denied. Check your settings."

Please help.  :-)

Version 6.4.0.  Yes, the services were shutdown when I issued the NETSTAT -B command.  I guess I should clarify my previous statement...when the services were up, ElasticSearch was the only thing on port 7992, when I shutdown the services, nothing was running on 7992.  When I try to use a browser to get to ElasticSearch, I am greeted by a username/password window that doesn't like the username and password that I configured in bitbucket.properties and bucklet.yml.

What version of Bitbucket are you running? Also we’re services stopped when you ran the netstat command?
