Logging on to Kibana

This page describes the credentials needed to log on to Kibana for secure and nonsecure clusters for HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric 6.0 and later.

Elasticsearch has its own user database, which also serves Kibana. EEP 5.0.0 and Installer 1.9.0 implemented some changes in security that affect the user IDs and passwords you need to log on to Kibana.
IMPORTANT
The Kibana version included in HPE Ezmeral Ecosystem Packs (EEPs) is a free version that does not support the integration of LDAP/AD users. Integrating LDAP/AD users requires a paid subscription to Elasticsearch. The paid subscription is not supported for use with the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric. Therefore, you must use the Kibana admin user, as described later on this page, to access the Kibana web UI for use with the Data Fabric.

EEP 4.x.x

To log on, specify the user and password as follows:
Secure Cluster Nonsecure Cluster
User Type the Kibana admin user. No logon required.
Password Type admin. No logon required.

EEP 5.0.0 and Later

To log on, specify the user and password as follows:
Secure Cluster Nonsecure Cluster
User Type the Kibana admin user ID. No logon required.
