I am developing a plugin for authentication and authorization  
For authorization, I need to protect all the routes  
So, I tried to listen to route changes using history.listen() in app\_router.tsx file present in repo  
But it is not working. It is not detecting routeChange event in kibana.(for eg: '/app/kibana' is not being detected)  
Please provide piece of code or in which component this code need to be written in kibana

Hi @Jayanth_Mogadampalli

I think you are after the `core.http.registerAuth()` method. In your server/plugin.ts file, your setup method can look something like:

```auto
public setup({ http }: CoreSetup) {
  http.registerAuth((request, response, toolkit) => {
    // Perform auth checks
  })
}

```

Docs can be found in [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/docs/development/core/server/kibana-plugin-core-server.httpservicesetup.registerauth.md](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/docs/development/core/server/kibana-plugin-core-server.httpservicesetup.registerauth.md)

Alternatively, you might also want to take a look at `registerOnPostAuth` and `registerOnPreAuth` ([https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/docs/development/core/server/kibana-plugin-core-server.httpservicesetup.md](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/blob/master/docs/development/core/server/kibana-plugin-core-server.httpservicesetup.md))
