Login to kibana via API

RamyaGowda · February 16, 2018, 6:15am

Hi

I have embedded kibana dashboards in my website by using iframe, now the issue is user has to login 2 times to see his/her data in kibana . one is to website and other is to kibana , i dont want to disable security from kibana because i have to show user-specific data , now my requirement is when user comes to my website and login , automatically he has to login to kibana also from backend side by using any API call's.

i have tried bellow one but no luck

GET /api/security/v1/login
{
"username" : "jon",
"password" : "*****"
}

Please help me

Looks like this has been discussed in detail here: Auto-authenticate Kibana 5.3 dashboard embedded in iframe

Hi @lukas

Thanks for your reply....

I don't think that I can run kibana using bin/kibana , because I have configured kibana in docker , and it is running as container

That's a long thread above, but were you considering configuring server.cors?

If you need to configure Kibana inside the container, I recommend the bind-mounted configuration approach, as documented here:

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/_configuring_kibana_on_docker.html#docker-bind-mount-config

The default configuration in our image is this:

github.com

elastic/kibana-docker/blob/master/build/kibana/config/kibana-x-pack.yml

---
# Default Kibana configuration from kibana-docker.

server.name: kibana
server.host: "0"
elasticsearch.url: http://elasticsearch:9200
elasticsearch.username: elastic
elasticsearch.password: changeme
xpack.monitoring.ui.container.elasticsearch.enabled: true

so you may want to copy that file and then modify it to suit you needs, before bind-mounting it into your container.
