HI, I have a requirement to use Forgerock's openAM for authentication and authorization purpose. Can you please tell me can we integrate forgerock with kibana for authentication and authorization purpose. THanks Satya ---

Hi @Satya, I'm not familiar with openAM, but a quick glance suggests it supports integration with external applications via LDAP. If that is the case, then the [X-Pack LDAP realm](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/ldap-realm.html) should enable you to integrate Elasticsearch's authentication with openAM. ---
