Hi all,

is the a configuration setting for a customized Shield Login-Message?  
The default shown by a browser is only "Shield"

It would be nice to customize the prompt.  
Btw it would also be nice to have more user friendly messages in Kibana4, if shield restricts access to an index, e.g. "An error occured with your request..."

Regrads,  
Marcus

I'll raise a feature request for #1.

The second one is a known issue and we are working on it 🙂
