Hi,

Has anyone been able to auto authenticate embedded kibana iframes without the user needing to fill in his credentials. I have gone through many answers of using a reverse proxy but I don't want to use that method. Could anyone share their experiences if they have used any other way to achieve this ?

Thanks

You can do this: [https://your-user:password@my-kiba.na](https://your-user:password@my-kiba.na) (substituting the correct values for user, password, and your kibana URL).

Apologies, the answer got mangled. I have edited it to give you the correct URL.

Hi Bill,

I had done only that but its not working.  
According to this link - [https://serverfault.com/questions/371907/can-you-pass-user-pass-for-http-basic-authentication-in-url-parameters](https://serverfault.com/questions/371907/can-you-pass-user-pass-for-http-basic-authentication-in-url-parameters) , its not possible to send username and password in url.

It would be really helpful if you could tell me any other way.

Thanks
