ENABLING KIBANA AUTHENTICATION USING NGINX:

1. Install nginx:
1. rpm -Uvh http://nginx.org/packages/centos/7/noarch/RPMS/nginx-release-centos-7-0.el7.ngx.noarch.rpm
2. yum -y install nginx httpd-tools
2. Set one username & password
1. htpasswd -c /etc/nginx/conf.d/kibana.htpasswd admin
3. Configure Nginx
1. vi /etc/nginx/conf.d/kibana.conf
2. server {
listen *:8080;
server_name 192.168.1.5;
access_log /var/log/nginx/kibana-access.log;
error_log /var/log/nginx/kibana-error.log;
   location / {
auth_basic "Restricted Access";
auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/conf.d/kibana.htpasswd;
proxy_pass http://192.168.1.5:5601;
#proxy_connect_timeout 150;
#proxy_send_timeout 100;
#proxy_read_timeout 100;
}
}
4. Restart Nginx
1. sudo service nginx restart
5. Go to the URL : http://192.168.1.5:8080, we should get a authentication screen on successful setup

  NOTE: In case if it doesn't work:

1. Disable the selinux by running the command
1. sudo setsebool -P httpd_can_network_connect 1
   

   
   
2. sudo service nginx restart
