Show HN: Log in to AWS Kibana with IAM User (iamproxy.com)
1 point by konschubert on Sept 27, 2017 | hide | past | favorite | 3 comments


Elasticsearch 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.


It'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.


A 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.
