Hi, I enabled the basic security of Xpack and found that the kibana UI comes up with a new login page for authentication. Is there any way to disable the UI page as we are having a login page for our web application and user wouldn't recommend using two logins to access kibana.  
Thanks,  
Krishna

You can turn off security entirely, which will disable the login screen, by setting  
`xpack.security.enabled: false` in elasticsearch.yml and kibana.yml, but that may not be what need.

It can be done with a reverse proxy. May be pass a valid Basic Authorization header with the request will validate the session, creating and using an authorization cookie in the background may be by using an nginx proxy.

some more discussions around that: [Auto-authenticating to iframe-embedded Kibana dashboard](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/auto-authenticating-to-iframe-embedded-kibana-dashboard/46091/7)

hope it helps
