Nginx with Kibana

Hello All ,

I am trying to configure basic authentication for Kibana using nginx.

Please find my nginx.conf contents.

I have given user id and password in password.txt like this ,

admin:$apr1$fir9q1y6$mDHJKIv2gYr68JrgVwcIi/

But authentication is not working after i started nginx using the command . "start nginx.exe" Any suggestions here please ?

Thanks and Regards

HI,

Are you seeing anything in your nginx access or error logs? What does the Kibana log file say? Make sure to set logging.verbose: true in your kibana.yml as well, so we can get detailed output. When I navigate to http://localhost:8080 , I am asked for a username/password. Once I enter it, nginx correctly forwards me to Kibana, which works as expected.
Here are few more such discuss issues with ngnix auth issues- hope it helps.

Thanks
