Authentication for Kibana server

Question

We are using Elasticsearch 2.3.4 and Kibana 4.5.3 in our application. We would like to add authentication to our Kibana server. That means, when running the kibana server from browser, it should prompt for user name and password.

We are looking open source software's/plugins to be added to Kibana and Elastic server.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Answer 1

Kibana work really good with the plugin Shield.

Answer 2

shield plugin is not an open source project but instead you can use searchguard or elasticfence.
