Show HN: Log in to AWS Kibana with IAM User
- konschubert 9y agoElasticsearch an AWS includes an installation of Kibana for analyzing the indices. Unfortunately, Amazon does not provide a good authentication mechanism. You either have to white-list your IP or sign your HTTP requests with IAM user credentials which requires running a proxy server. Iamproxy.com is such a proxy server. After logging in and entrusting it with your IAM user key, you can connect to Kibana with the click of a button.
- konschubert 9y agoA month ago I already submitted to Show HN, but received no feedback unfortunately. Now, after improving the page a lot, I am asking again for your opinion.
- PaulHoule 9y agoIt's a little (maybe more than a little) scary to enter IAM credentials on a third-party web site. It would be nice to have a way to do single-sign on with AWS credentials.
