How to set authentication in kibana

问题

Is it possible to enable authentication in Kibana in order to restrict access to a dashboard to only be accessible to particular users?

回答1:

Kibana itself doesn't support authentication or restricting access to dashboards.

You can restrict access to Kibana 4 using nginx as a proxy in front of Kibana as described here: https://serverfault.com/a/345244. Just set proxy_pass to port 5601 and disable this port on firewall for others. This will completly enable or disable Kibana.

Elastic also has a tool called Shield which enables you to manage security of elasticsearch. With Shield you can for example allow someone to analyze data in specific indexes with read-only permissions. https://www.elastic.co/products/shield

Edit: Elastic has an issue on github and they recommend to use Shield.

Install Shield (plugin for elasticsearch) following these instructions
Configure roles for Kibana users
Configure Kibana to work with Shield

Remember Shield provides only index-level access control. That means user A will be able to see all dashboards but some of them will be empty (because he doesn't have access to all indices).

回答2:

Check this plugin named elasticsearch-readonlyrest. It allow easy access control, by authentication or ip/network, x-forwarded-for header and allows one to setup read-write or read-only access in kibana and limit indexes access per user. It is simple to setup and should give enough control for most people.

If more control is needed, you can use the search-guard, a free alternative to shield.

Kibana4 doesn't currently support this.

I have achieved authentication by installing haproxy.

Restrict kibana locally

$sudo nano /etc/kibana/kibana.yml

server.host: "localhost"

2.Install haproxy in same machine where kibana installed

$ sudo apt update && sudo apt install haproxy

$ sudo nano /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg

When you browse http://IP:80 one pop-up ll come for authentication.

Old question but I wanted to add that there is an open source version of elk from aws. You might be able to use the plugin in the version from elastic.co. https://github.com/opendistro-for-elasticsearch/security
