Hi,

I am have now installed newer versions of ELK components.

Elasticsearch 5.4.1  
Logstash 5.4.1  
Kibana 5.4.1

And processing streaming SNMP and syslog feeds.

I have created couple of "saved searches" for group of hosts in kibana

Now I want to authenticate Kibana using LDAP and associate saved searches with different LDAP users/groups.

Can someone give me hints how to do this ?

Regards,  
-Manish

To integrate your Elastic Stack products with LDAP, you will want to install the [X-Pack plugin](https://www.elastic.co/products/x-pack) into Elasticsearch and Kibana.

As such, I have moved your post to the X-Pack forum.

The documentation for using the security features of X-Pack is here:  
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/xpack-security.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/xpack-security.html)

Have a read through that, and if you have specific questions the X-Pack forum is the best place to ask.
