Can I use NIS authentication for Kibana using x-pack?
I don't see a that as an option in document.
NIS isn't supported natively like LDAP and Active Directory, but authentication realms can be extended: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/custom-realms.html
Thank you. will look in to it.
Anyone has any sample configuration for file base authentication. for god's love I can't find any sample
I am trying all different combination but missing something
this is my elasticsearch.yml file
I try all kind of combination with following lines but it won't let elasticsearch start
xpack.security.enabled: true
xpack.security.authc.realms:
type:file
#xpack:
security:
authc:
realms:
file1:
type: file
order: 0
# enable: true
Can you provide the error message from the logs?
If Elasticsearch isn't starting, it will tell you what's going wrong.
Alright after more test. I was able to start that here is config file for it
xpack.security.enabled: true
xpack.security.authc.realms:
realm1:
type: file
now I restarted ELK stack. but I still don't see user setup option in kibana.

What am I missing?
I have created two test user
[root@houelktst01 elasticsearch]# /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-users list
sachin_kibana : kibana_dashboard_only_user
sachin : superuser
I know I must be missing something in kibana side but can't find it yet.
It looks like you are running with a "basic" license. That does not support security.
You can switch to a 30 day trial of all commercial features using an API call, or in the Kibana UI
