Multiple authentication types for kibana?

Is there any way to allow multiple authentication types to kibana (not elasticsearch) ?

I’ve setup elastic to use multiple authentication domains, as described here https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/security/saml/#running-multiple-authentication-domains
I can see (curl on the command line) how elastic accepts both basicauth and saml authentication for example.
However, for kibana, the opendistro_security.auth.type configuration takes a string, not an array of authentication types. I’d like to be able to login to kibana using https://username:password@kibana which would send http authentication headers. In case no authentication is sent, kibana/elastic would fallback to SAML authentication.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Hi!

Unfortunately, there is no way to enable multiple authentication with Kibana at the moment.

Hello

Just wondering if multiple authentication is still not possible?

Thanks

I have the same issue, I think it is not possible right now.
