Elastic + Kibana URL

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

HI: I am trying to allow other users on my network the ability to login to my Elastic+Kibana instance.

I have:

  1. Set the server host in kibana.yml to 0.0.0.0, port is 5601

What else do I need to do so others internally can login? I created users for the people who I want to login, but I am not sure how to "promote" the server so others can login.

Please advise what steps I should be taking.

Thanks
Anthony

Thanks Anthony, here are few resources on our security settings that may be helpful here:

When you say "promote" the server, does it mean sharing Kibana panel ?

HI: I mean this:

At the moment I can login to Kibana on my server. I want to allow my team members to login and use Kibana via a URL.

What would I need to configure to make that happen.

Thanks, @dfir. Have you sent them a link with the URL to your Kibana instance? If so, your users should be prompted to log in from there. This link typically looks like http://your-server-address:5601. If you've tried this, what happens? Do you get security errors?

  1. After installation of Kibana and Elasticsearch - Make sure your url is reachable by you and your all users as jessica mentioned - http://server-ip:5601.

  2. After that you can create a users and roles specific to your use case. Probably you can create user for every individual, team or department. Assign specific role with privileges.

Once done then you're good to share the URL.

You can also explore secure the Elastic stack for extra layer of security (Recommended).
