I found this discuss post that may help: [Secure my ELK - nginx credentials](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/secure-my-elk-nginx-credentials/170521/3)

Also pinging one of security team members @jportner who may help us. Joe, have you worked with this setup and know what needs to be done to pass in the correct authentication from the proxy to Kibana?
