How to bypass the SPLUNK authentication for a single dashboard

I have a dashboard created inside a Juniper Networks App. I want this dashboard to be viewed by others without entering any login details when accessing it. We use LDAP authentication in our environment. Is there any way to bypass this?

Regards,
Sushma.

@muralisushma7, just noticed that you have the same question posted...
Does your dashboard have a single Query or multiple? If you create a Scheduled Report, you can embed the same in an HTML page and share HTML page with users. Other option would be PDF delivery of the report/dashboard (however, many visualizations may not work correctly with scheduled PDF delivery).

There would be an option to embed dashboard to your own webpage as well. However, it would not be a recommended approach: https://answers.splunk.com/answers/582632/how-do-you-use-custom-xml-in-reports-from-dashboar.html

I see that Schedule PDF delivery is in grayed out for this dashboard which is inside the Juniper Network App.
Scheduling report is not actually what is required. The end user don't need a report on daily basis. They just want a way to check the dashboard with anonymous login whenever they want. I see that it is not possible. Think, the only way could be to change the authentication of SPLUNK URL to SAML single sign on authentication. Is it not so?

If I choose to follow Authentication with single sign on using SAML, it applies to the complete SPLUNK url and not just to one dashboard right? I don't want that, I just want only one dashboard login to be changed. Is that possible?

Did you try changing dashboard permission from private to global?

Permission for the dashboard is global itself. I changed it. But still if I give the dashboard link to end user, they are supposed to enter the LDAP credentials to see it. Is there any way to bypass this?

Try putting 'enable_insecure_login = True' in web.conf.
