Steps to enable AD integration for only Opensearch Dashboard

OpenSearch Dashboards

Versions (relevant - OpenSearch/Dashboard/Server OS/Browser): v 2.14.0, SLES 12, Chrome

We are new to opensearch and opensearch dashboards.

We have the initial setup for both openseach and opensearch dashboard - each in two different environments. opensearch is configured in a vm and opensearch dashboard is configured on a k8.

We are successfully able to establish connection between both.

Describe the issue:

We would need to know the steps to integrate the opensearch dashboard to AD or SAML

In this case, we need to keep the opensearch installation isolated and only need to expose the dashboard to the users for viewing and analyzing the logs. So Opensearch will work with only one or two user / admin logins and opensearch dashboard is open to the users.

Is this scenario / configuration possible.

If yes, please help us with the relevant documentations for achieving the same

@arjun555 OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboards support both AD and SAML authentication/authorization.
The AD authentication/authorization doesn’t require OpenSearch Dashboards configuration where SAML must be configured in both OpenSearch and OpenSearch Dashboards.

It’s hard to say which one is easier. SAML has less moving parts. But it always depends on your experience and preference.

Both SAML and AD are described in OpenSearch documentation.
