Hey @He_Pamela, if you put a reverse-proxy in front of Kibana (Nginx/Apache/etc.) you can provide the username and password via the Basic authorization headers. [Auto-authenticating to iframe-embedded Kibana dashboard](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/auto-authenticating-to-iframe-embedded-kibana-dashboard/46091/4) describes how to do this using NGINX and the same approach can be adapted if you need this to work with Apache.
