Currently I have security enabled for my elk stack. When going to http://localhost:5601 for Kibana I get a login prompt and I enter the credentials for my elastic username and password. I want to bypass this login screen through some other type of authentication while still having security enabled. Can we configure something in the kibana.yml to allow for this? Also I have nginx installed, is there a way this can be done through reverse proxy?
Hi @Diler_Mohammed,
You can use Anonymous Authentication, as covered here in the docs, to bypass the login but ensuring a defined set of roles for any anonymous users. That should give you what you need.
Hope that helps!
Thank you for the reply!
If I'm using anonymous authentication, will this anonymous user be able to access the same information such as indices and dashboards that the elastic user has access too?
@Diler_Mohammed you can define the privileges the role has via the role management capabilities:
Hope that helps!
