Hi @Brandon_Kobel,  
I am embedding the Kibana main screen as an iframe into a jsp file. My aim is to redirect the user of webapp to Kibana on a button click . My aim is not to open a specific dashboard but the main Kibana page. I am not giving **src** attribute in **iframe** tag to the Kibana url but to a web application endpoint which hits the Kibana url and generates html which is then returned as the src to the iframe. However this I am doing with security disabled for now. PS I have created a custom realm in X-Pack where I will need request headers in the request to validate the user request and authorize the same. I have raised a question regarding the same at [Custom Realm authentication without headers](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/custom-realm-authentication-with-request-query-params-and-not-custom-headers/99264)
