express-session compatible Redis backed authentication for Kibana

kibana-express-session

A Kibana plugin to check (and only check) if a user is authenticated. Uses express-session-hapi module to check for session data in Redis.

This module does not perform the actual authentication. It does not register any route handler. It only checks if the user is authenticated. If not, it redirects to a configurable redirectTo location.

Usage

./bin/kibana plugin -i kibana-express-session -u https://github.com/kadishmal/kibana-express-session/releases/download/v1.0.0/kibana-express-session-1.0.0.zip

Notice that when specifying a URL via -u flag, Kibana requires the URL to point to a ZIP file which includes all the dependencies. Kibana doesn't run npm install when installing a plugin. So, the ZIP file should be archived and uploaded somewhere. Follow the Build section below for build instructions.

Options

kibana-express-session: 
  cookieName: ''
  # Disable or enable this Kibana plugin.
  enabled: true
  redis:
    host: ''
  redirectTo: '/login'
  secret: ''

Basically, the same options accepted by express-session-hapi module are accepted by kibana-express-session.

Build

grunt build

This generates a ZIP files into build/ directory. Upload this archive to the Releases tab in the Github repository.
