Searchguard: 6.5.4 Elasticsearch: 6.5.4 & kibana 6.5.4 JVM 1.8-131 Centos 7 Hello, i just installed search guard with the corresponding kibana plugin and i found out that i have to authenticate myself two times before i get to kibana. 1. First when i go to [https://127.0.0.1:443](https://127.0.0.1:443) (we have a nginx reverse proxy before kibana) i get a standard http authentication popup where i have to enter username and password 2. Then i have to enter username and password again i the search guard login page I want to only use the search guard login page, how and what should i change to achieve this? ---

You need to disable spaces in kibana.yml     xpack.spaces.enabled: false See [Search Guard Documentation 404 | Security for Elasticsearch | Search Guard](https://docs.search-guard.com/latest/upgrading-560#kibana-spaces) > **···** > > > Am 08.01.2019 um 15:40 schrieb Victor Nilsson \: > > > > Searchguard: 6.5.4 > > Elasticsearch: 6.5.4 & kibana 6.5.4 > > JVM 1.8-131 Centos 7 > > > > Hello, i just installed search guard with the corresponding kibana plugin and i found out that i have to authenticate myself two times before i get to kibana. > > 1.
