I have a Django application which I now want to integrate it with Kibana. So when authenticated users click on a link, they will be directed to Kibana. But this option should not be available to anonymous users.
My stack is Psql + Django + mod_wsgi + Apache. The solution I came up with was restricting access to Kibana via Apache, and authenticating users in Django before giving them access. This HowTo <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/howto/deployment/wsgi/apache-auth/> in Django website says how you can authenticate against Django from Apache, but that one uses Basic authentication. When I use this approach, even for users who already have an active session in my Django app, they will be asked to enter their username/password in a browser dialog! I was hoping the authentication to happen using the current Django active sessions. I believe for that I need to use AuthType form and mod_session, instead of AuthType Basic. Is this correct? If yes, it seems mod_wsgi does not support mod_session yet (as discussed here <https://github.com/GrahamDumpleton/mod_wsgi/pull/41>). what would be the alternative then? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "modwsgi" group.
