Kibana LDAP authentication 6.8.0

[akshay_singh2 (Akshay Singh)]

Hello Team,

We are running ELK stack on 6.8 without any LDAP or AD authentication. Now i want to configure LDAP authentication for Kibana.

Any help on this will be very appreciated.

Thanks
Akshay.

As you are asking here in the forum I guess you have no paid elastic license? For LDAP authentication you need at least a gold license.

After you have a license it is straightforward: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/current/ldap-realm.html

I'm not quite sure how to read this sentence.
Do you have LDAP authentication working already, or did you mean to type without any?

Sorry my mistake, it was

Thanks you very much Wolfram,

One more doubt do have, I enabled security with http.ssl and transport .ssl on elasticsearch on test machines. Before moving to production do we need gold license for that too or does it comes with community version.

Starting with version 6.8 Encryption is free so you would not need a gold license.
