kibana Authentication Proxy

A fork of kibana-authentication-proxy.

Hosts the latest Kibana 4 BETA and elasticsearch behind Google OAuth2, Basic Authentication or CAS Authentication with NodeJS and Express.

• A proxy between Elasticsearch, Kibana 4 BETA and user client
• Support Elasticsearch which protected by basic authentication, only kibana-authentication-proxy knows the user/passwd
• Compatible with the latest Kibana 4 BETA
• Enhanced authentication methods. Now support Google OAuth2, BasicAuth(multiple users supported) and CAS Authentication for the clients
• Per-user kibana index supported. now you can use index kibana-int-userA for user A and kibana-int-userB for user B
• Inspired by and based on kibana-proxy, most of the proxy libraries were written by them, thanks:)

We NO LONGER support third-party plugins such as Bigdesk or Head since it's hard to test and maintain

It's just a standard nodejs application, you could install it in the same server with ES, or not. Before run the following commands, please make sure you have nodejs and npm well installed.
