Kibana configuration and cookie based authentication

I'm attempting to share a dashboard with the rest of my group and I'm
running into problems where kibana
can not access the es proxy.

The proxy is behind a cookie based authentication system.

Kibana complains that it can't find _nodes

It is configured to use

elasticsearch: "https://server.my.domain:443/es"

However, from Chrome and other browsers, I can access es just fine and in
particular this works.

https://server.my.domain/es/_nodes

My guess is that somehow I need to get kibana to forward the appropriate
cookies. I've tried changing the
line to

elasticsearch: { server:"https://server.my.domain:443/es",
with-credentials : true }

but that did not help. I looked at the logs on the elasticsearch proxy host
and it appears that
kibana is not even querying it. Any suggestion about where to start looking
would be appreciated.

thanks,

I've just discovered the cookie is HttpOnly, so that is likely the
fundamental problem.
