I can help you verify that kibana is up and running and you can log in but I don't have much experience with nginx. ---

The credentials request to access the functionalities of kibana, which does not access directly. In order to maintain information security. ---

Something similar, I must do that when I enter the kibana address in the browser, a login is requested ---

For example, if I want to enter kibana by 192.168.10.5:5601, I would access the kibana interface directly without a login process. I require that before loading the kibana interface, a username and password is requested to access the tool. ---

The security settings come with elasticsearch (xpack plugin), but as far as I know it's only available with a license. Once you enable security in elasticsearch, kibana will request login credentials. ---
