Hi! This is something that is frequently posted on the forums here: > [@Authenticating to iframe-embedded Kibana dashboard](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/authenticating-to-iframe-embedded-kibana-dashboard/71129/7): > > Sorry for the delay, @rupaln and sorry for giving incomplete advice. I was able to get the Kibana server to respond with a cookie header by POSTing to /api/security/v1/login with a JSON request body of { "password": "\", "username": "\" } and the appropriate kbn-version: 5.1.1 header. > [@Auto-authenticating to iframe-embedded Kibana dashboard](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/auto-authenticating-to-iframe-embedded-kibana-dashboard/46091/16): > > @tsullivan @Alex_Piggott @Francisca_Lima and others interested. Looks like you should use proxy\_set\_header Host $proxy\_host; instead of proxy\_set\_header Host $host; $proxy\_host takes host value from proxy\_pass directive, while $host will contain your server\_name. And apparently, Kibana from Elastic Cloud requires an original host to determine target cluster ID. Works for me without proxifying any additional X-Found-Cluster headers. --- _[View the full topic](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/share-a-dashboard-to-an-external-website-without-logging-in/264739)._
