Hi! I have been using the iframe to load the kibana dasboard in our angular application. I have external UAA authentication in our web application for security. How can I use external UAA to be used in Kibana and communicate with kibana authentication. currently I am seeing 2 login screens, one is our external login and another one is kibana login.

Your help will be great to achieve it.

Hi @Srinivas_Alapati ,

Here is basically our [official recomendation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/embedding.html#_authentication) for the cases like you have.

Best,
