Hi,  
I know this is a common issue and looking around the forum no other topic could solve it.

My problem is very similar to this topic below. I can make the login by /api/security/v1/login by ajax request and I can get the cookie, but I canot set it with javascript. When I try to set the domain, something goes wrong and the cookie is not created. I am trying some workaround but without success. I am trying to open iframes to visualize charts without the user need to insert username/password. Am I doing something wrong or missing something?

elasticsearch version: 5.4.0  
kibana version: 5.4.0

I was able to get the Kibana server to respond with a cookie header by POSTing to /api/security/v1/login with a JSON request body of { "password": "\<YOURPASSWORD\>", "username": "\<YOURUSERNAME\>" } and the appropriate kbn-version: 5.1.1 header.

Your issue is probably related to cross-origin and information related to setting CORS was given [here](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/auto-authenticate-kibana-5-3-dashboard-embedded-in-iframe/85059/7?u=tsmalley).
