Hi,

I am trying to embed a kibana dashboard in my [ASP.Net](http://ASP.Net) MVC app. So the most common question would be to auto sign-in the user to Kibana (from the embedded iframe).

I know this topic was asked couple of times in the forum and I've tried the solutions from past discussions but it still not working.

**My Environment**

- Elastic Search/Kibana is hosted in ElasticCloud.
- Dashboard is embedded on the [ASP.Net](http://ASP.Net) MVC Web app (separate domain host)

Appreciate your replies and suggestions.

Regards,  
Kenneth

hi @kenneth,

this is not provided out of the box, but you could do this by setting up a reverse-proxy, which passes along the credentials.

There's an example with nginx here in this thread: [Auto authenticating to an embedded Kibana dashboard (on Elastic.co CLOUD)](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/auto-authenticating-to-an-embedded-kibana-dashboard-on-elastic-co-cloud/71248/13)

thanks @thomasneirynck - saw this topic too. i was hoping if there's another way to do this aside from setting up a reverse-proxy.
