I want authentication for my elastic-search cluster so that security is handled. So I came across Kibana authentication proxy [https://github.com/fangli/kibana-authentication-proxy](https://github.com/fangli/kibana-authentication-proxy) So I installed it and got the app.js running. But there are no instructions on how to use it to achieve authentication. Or if there is a better solution to authentication, then please suggest that. Any help is appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
