=== SAML authentication
|
|
{security} supports user authentication using SAML Single Sign On.
|
|
{security} provides this support using the Web Browser SSO profile of the SAML
|
|
2.0 protocol.
|
|
|
|
This protocol is specifically designed to support authentication via an
|
|
interactive web browser, so it does not operate as a standard authentication
|
|
realm. Instead, {security} provides features in {kib} and {es} that work
|
|
together to enable interactive SAML sessions.
|
|
|
|
This means that the SAML realm is not suitable for use by standard REST clients.
|
|
If you configure a SAML realm for use in {kib}, you should also configure
|
|
another realm, such as the <<native-realm, native realm>> in your authentication
|
|
chain.
|
|
|
|
In order to simplify the process of configuring SAML authentication within the
|
|
Elastic Stack, there is a step-by-step guide to
|
|
<<saml-guide, Configuring Elasticsearch and Kibana to use SAML Single-Sign-On>>.
|
|
|
|
The remainder of this document will describe {es} specific configuration options
|
|
for SAML realms.
