Hi everyone,

I started experimenting with search guard recently and I am using the free version for now.

After I set up a test ES + Kibana cluster I noticed that the login page is branded with the Search Guard logo. Is there a way to customize the login page? To make it more user-friendly, add some instructions and stuff like that?

Best Regards

Of course, you can find the instructions on how to customize the login page in the docs:

Section “Customising the login page”
