Hello All, I"m trying to find documentation on how to setup Kibana to be password protected. I'm using Centos 6.5(apache) and right now with the basic install you can just go to the configured url and see logs without having to input credentials. Is there a way to add this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
