Hello Team,

I have embedded a dashboard into my external web application and able to see the dashboard (1 user). But, Kibana is asking me to enter the credentials every-time manually. I shouldn't enter the Kibana credentials once I log-in to my application. Is there any way I can configure my credentials in Kibana.YAML file or in the server settings

FYI: My web application, Kibana, and elastic-search have been deployed in Kubernetes cluster.

Thanks in Advance!

Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do this. Brandon posted information on this here: [Authentication in Kibana](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/authentication-in-kibana/173955/3) and the feature request is being tracked here: [https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/35613](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/issues/35613)
