Okta SAML SSO for elastic cloud

Questions SAML
1

Hi all,

I am trying to apply SSO to our elastic cloud service (BTW, I do not have any background knowledge about these)

Here is what I have done:

  1. I follow Build a Single Sign-On (SSO) integration | Okta Developer and create an app

  2. In Secure your clusters with SAML | Elasticsearch Service Documentation | Elastic , I am not quite sure which values should I modify in configuration (what I know is that idp.metadata.path, idp.entity_id should be changed corresponding to the ‘application’ I create. Even though I still failed in elasticsearch deployment. And the deployment detail shows only “Waiting until instances are running” and “rollback and cleanup” not helping for debugging)

  3. The same article from step2, I failed in kibana deployment (but I think this part has little to do with IDP)

please give me some suggestion, thanks
(the docs I need to read in Okta website, or some tutorial page etc.)

In your SAML app created in Okta, you can find “Metadata URL” on Sign-On tab, which has the information you need:

  • idm.entity_id
  • idp.metadata.path is the URL itself
