Hi ,
I have installed trial license in elastic search.
We are trying to secure kibana dashboard using ldap integration.
Is this the documentation i should be following
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/ldap-realm.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/ldap-realm.html)
Cause in the docs it says to Add a realm configuration of type `ldap` to `elasticsearch.yml`
Sould we add setting in elasticsearch for kibana ldap?
Thanks

What version of Elasticsearch and Kibana are you using? The docs you linked to are for a slightly older version, and it would be best to be able to point you to docs for the version that you are actually running.

Kibana is a user interface on top of Elasticsearch. If you want you Kibana content to be secured, then you need to configure that in Elasticsearch, and Kibana will integrate with it.
