Authentication of the custom realm seems to work nicely however, after authenticating my user via my custom x-pack plugin, Kibana will display the U/P basic form. What is the proper way to fully disable it? Or is it the way I do my custom authentication that makes it show up?
In short, there are only 2 main possibilities to bypass Kibana login screen at the moment:
Disable security entirely, likely it's not an option for you;
Attribute your every request with proper Authorization: Basic *** HTTP header (if your realm supports Basic authentication of course). See the post above that explains how to do that with the help of reverse proxy.
Hi Oleg, thanks for your help, this does the trick!
I need both native and custom realm auth. But native auth is only needed as fall back when Kibana is not accessed via the proxy (i.e. via a vpn), in which case I want it enabled. With the proxy config trick it will just work nicely.
