I am sorry for posting the code in such a way.

FYI, i was able to authenticate using AD. but now i have a new concern which i have raised yesterday, but haven't received any reply from ELK team. Here is the [link](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-create-individual-dashboards-for-different-2-clients/191517) to my concern  
Please look into this and help me.

Regards,  
Pankaj N
