I'm in the exact same situation as this closed topic:

[Auto authenticating to an embedded Kibana dashboard (on Elastic.co CLOUD)](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/auto-authenticating-to-an-embedded-kibana-dashboard-on-elastic-co-cloud/71248)

But I prefer to use Apache rather than Nginx as a reverse proxy.

Here is my apache configuration:

```
<VirtualHost *:80>
  ServerName kibana.opscidia.com
  ProxyPass / "<kibana_share_url>"
  ProxyPassReverse / "<kibana_share_url>"
# <Location /mypath>
# RequestHeader set Authorization "Basic <auth_param>"
# </Location>
</VirtualHost>

```

Even before trying to auto-login, I face an error with the redirection:

`AH01144: No protocol handler was valid for the URL /. If you are using a DSO version of mod_proxy, make sure the proxy submodules are included in the configuration using LoadModule.`

I tried many things with \<kibana\_share\_url\> from [elastic.co](http://elastic.co) such as:

- [https://a0e429371b4444caa3ac18a5a710a7ca.europe-west1.gcp.cloud.es.io:9243/app/kibana#/dashboard/a939da50-7582-11e9-ad61-2fd949f49923?\_g=()](https://a0e429371b4444caa3ac18a5a710a7ca.europe-west1.gcp.cloud.es.io:9243/app/kibana#/dashboard/a939da50-7582-11e9-ad61-2fd949f49923?_g=())
- or simply [https://a0e429371b4444caa3ac18a5a710a7ca.europe-west1.gcp.cloud.es.io](https://a0e429371b4444caa3ac18a5a710a7ca.europe-west1.gcp.cloud.es.io)

But I always get the same error.  
And I don't have such error with any other kind of url

Can you help me ?
