I have a .NET winforms app with an embedded browser and i want to automatically login in Kibana from code so users will see kibana dashboard without having to enter credentails.

Is there any way to pass credentials on URLor basic auth or anyone have done something similar?

There isn't a way with credentials in the url on 2.x and 5.x, but it should work with authorization headers.
