When the SAML authentication is not successful, we return a SAML
Response with a status that indicates a failure. This commit adds
an error message in the REST API response along with the SAML
Response XML string so that the caller of the API can identify
that this is an unsuccessful response without needing to parse the
XML.
This is a simple naming change PR, to fix the fact that "metadata" is a
single English word, and for too long we have not followed general
naming conventions for it. We are also not consistent about it, for
example, METADATA instead of META_DATA if we were trying to be
consistent with MetaData (although METADATA is correct when considered
in the context of "metadata"). This was a simple find and replace across
the code base, only taking a few minutes to fix this naming issue
forever.
This adds the ability for the IdP to define wildcard service
providers in a JSON file within the ES node's config directory.
If a request is made for a service provider that has not been
registered, then the set of wildcard services is consulted. If the
SP entity-id and ACS match one of the wildcard patterns, then a
dynamic service provider is defined from the associated mustache
template.
Backport of: #54148
This change merges the "feature-internal-idp" branch into Elasticsearch.
This introduces a small identity-provider plugin as a child of the x-pack module.
This allows ES to act as a SAML IdP, for users who are authenticated against the
Elasticsearch cluster.
This feature is intended for internal use within Elastic Cloud environments
and is not supported for any other use case. It falls under an enterprise license tier.
The IdP is disabled by default.
