You do not need to configure any additional settings to use {security} in {kib}.
|
||
|
|
It is enabled by default.

==== General Security Settings
|
||
|
|
`xpack.security.enabled`::
|
||
|
|
Set to `true` (default) to enable {security}. +
|
||
|
|
+
|
||
|
|
If set to `false` in `kibana.yml`, the user and role management options are
|
||
|
|
hidden in this {kib} instance. If `xpack.security.enabled` is set to `true` in
|
||
|
|
`elasticsearch.yml`, however, you can still use the {security} APIs. To disable
|
||
|
|
{security} entirely, see the
|
||
|
|
{ref}/security-settings.html[{es} Security Settings].

==== User Interface Security Settings
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can configure the following settings in the `kibana.yml` file:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`xpack.security.cookieName`::
|
||
|
|
Sets the name of the cookie used for the session. The default value is `"sid"`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`xpack.security.encryptionKey`::
|
||
|
|
An arbitrary string of 32 characters or more that is used to encrypt credentials
|
||
|
|
in a cookie. It is crucial that this key is not exposed to users of {kib}. By
|
||
|
|
default, a value is automatically generated in memory. If you use that default
|
||
|
|
behavior, all sessions are invalidated when {kib} restarts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`xpack.security.secureCookies`::
|
||
|
|
Sets the `secure` flag of the session cookie. The default value is `false`. It
|
||
|
|
is set to `true` if `server.ssl.certificate` and `server.ssl.key` are set. Set
|
||
|
|
this to `true` if SSL is configured outside of {kib} (for example, you are
|
||
|
|
routing requests through a load balancer or proxy).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
`xpack.security.sessionTimeout`::
|
||
|
|
Sets the session duration (in milliseconds). By default, sessions stay active
|
||
|
|
until the browser is closed.
