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](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kibana-authentication.html#anonymous-access-and-embedding) 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](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/kibana-authentication.html#embedded-content-authentication)
Best,
Oleg
