Kibana with (non-basic) User Authentication

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

Hi all, I'm exploring options to enable user management and authentication
for Kibana. The idea is to have a nice looking (not just basic auth)
authentication screen for users of a web-based monitoring solution that we
are developing (powered by Elasticsearch). We're not a big group, so I'm
looking for lightweight solutions, and trying to stay as close to the
standard packages.

I've come up with the following possible solutions, but would greatly
appreciate any pointers.

  1. Add authentication to a thin Django or Flask project (throw some
    bootstrap into the mix) and use it as a reverse proxy for urls. Should give
    me session management.
  2. Use something like CAS (http://www.jasig.org/cas)
  3. Use nginx with Basic Auth :frowning:

Cheers,
Stephan

There are a few such wrappers around that community members have written.
Have a search through the archives here and you may get some ideas and even
code to leverage.
