Hello,  
So I can use nginx to access Kibana dashboards with different users? I tried to use a variable for the user in the nginx, but my problem is when I do the GET request of Kibana Dashboard.  
My nginx is like this:

> ```
> location / {
> proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:5601;
> proxy_http_version 1.1;
> proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
> proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
> proxy_set_header Host $host;
> proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
> rewrite ^/kibana(.*)$ /$1 break;
> proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr; # pass on real client's IP
> proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
> proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-Proto $scheme;
> auth_basic "Basic Auth";
> auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;
> proxy_set_header x-forwarded-user $remote_user;
> proxy_set_header Authorization "";
> access_log /var/log/nginx/kibana.access.log;
> }
> 
> ```

How can I access my kibana dashboards? Through a POST login request?

Thanks.
