Hi!
I followed these guides to sign-in to Kibana with a Google Account using Nginx and OAuth2\_proxy:

> Hello, I wanted to share to the community a different approach to this great guide [https://www.elastic.co/blog/user-impersonation-with-x-pack-integrating-third-party-auth-with-kibana](https://www.elastic.co/blog/user-impersonation-with-x-pack-integrating-third-party-auth-with-kibana). After playing a little bit with Nginx and OAuth2 Proxy I have managed to avoid the user impersonation and give the admin the chance to create accounts for each user in the organization with their associated roles. Notes: Parts of this guide are taken from the user impersonation guide (see link above) This guid…
And it works great!
But I have a question:
By theses methods I need a common password for Kibana users that I have to put in my Nginx config.
Is there a way to not use this password in Nginx config? I mean a way where Kibana users don't have a password and they can only sign-in with their Google account. So I don't need to add this common password in my Nginx config for more security.
Thank you!

If you have a platinum license, our SAML integration works with Google, and we'll have news on OpenID Connection (OAuth2) in the near future.
SAML is also available on our [Cloud Service](https://www.elastic.co/cloud/) if you'd prefer not to purchase your own license up front.
