hi @Gabriele,

you can do this by passing the login information with a reverse-proxy.

See this thread for more information: [Auto-authenticating to iframe-embedded Kibana dashboard](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/auto-authenticating-to-iframe-embedded-kibana-dashboard/46091/4).

The example there uses nginx, but other platforms should support a similar setup.
