A way to pass on kibana's authentication credentials from a python flask app?

Elastic Stack Kibana

Hello,

I have a Flask app that redirects to an kibana instance that populates dashboards and works as expected . However,i'm wondering if there's a way to pass on kibana's credentials via the APP so that the kibana doesnt show the login prompt when there's a new user .

The app redirects to kibana using the iframe (from share option on kibana) , it works fine when we supply the credentials , but i want to know if there's a way to automate this .

Hi @Shreesh_Narayanan ,

Would sharing with anonymous access be a viable option for you? If not, then you'd need to put a proxy in front of Kibana that would send proper credentials via Authorization: Basic base64(username:password) to Kibana. We describe various options here: Authentication in Kibana | Kibana Guide [7.16] | Elastic

Best,
Oleg
