Hi,
I am trying to work out whether it is possible to attach authentication, or make kibana send some sort of authentication with URL templates for field formatters in kibana.
It is possible to display images on URLs with this. For this purpose, I have configured my URL template to be something among the lines of:
localhost:8080/resolve/{imageId}
The imageId is provided via the {{value}} variable and this works all fine.
I would like to add some authentication to the request coming in from Kibana. I have printed available headers and only gotten this:
{host=[localhost:8082], connection=[keep-alive], user-agent=[Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/71.0.3578.98 Safari/537.36], accept=[image/webp,image/apng,image/*,*/*;q=0.8], referer=[http://localhost:5601/app/kibana], accept-encoding=[gzip, deflate, br], accept-language=[en-GB,en;q=0.9,de-DE;q=0.8,de;q=0.7,en-US;q=0.6], cookie=[JSESSIONID.1f47f03c=node01x3mhn2jmd7g4qby84ryfcxmd1.node0; screenResolution=1920x1080; JSESSIONID.d86b4be4=node01gzefm5lc0i3c9itul3p0zoil1.node0; JSESSIONID.9211a7ee=node01v32dtus1uphtcvg72es74h681.node0]}
I can't find any basic authentication in there that I can take advantage of. I am not sure if the cookies can be used to resolve the authentication in a way?
My question is: Can I send basic authentication of the logged in user as part of my request? If so, how?
