We are using Oauth2 reverse proxy to authenticate the users via google. We want to use a static username and password from kibana+elasticsearch once the user gets authenticate via google so that we dont have to add or delete each user. The password can be set via `--basic-auth-password` as i read in the [documentation.](https://oauth2-proxy.github.io/oauth2-proxy/docs/configuration/overview) However, we are unable to set the user. Is there a way anyone knows to set user? Is Nginx required here to set a static username ? Thanks

I'm not sure how your question is related to any tool of the Elastic Stack, it seems out of the scope of this forum.
You are using a third-party tool in front of Kibana, you need to check in with the community of this tool.
