I followed the documentation from Elastic but I am unable to successfully integrate Okta. The SAML documentation is here:
https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-to-enable-saml-authentication-in-kibana-and-elasticsearch
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/_the_identity_provider.html
and here:
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-securing-clusters-SAML.html
I'm specifically focusing on making the Elastic Cloud working with Okta.

Hello,
George form Okta here,
If you followed the instruction in the documentation you provided it should work.
However if it does not, please try and re-upload the metadata or/and certificate and try again.
If this fails as well, please open a support ticket and an engineer will assist you step by step.
Thank You.
Hi,
I am facing the same issue, I try to find a IDP for my elastic cloud service (SAML2 SSO)
There some question I want to ask:
1. upload the metadata or/and certificate:
is 'metadata' in step 9 of (https://developer.okta.com/docs/guides/saml-application-setup/overview/) ?
what about certificate? (https://developer.okta.com/docs/guides/byo-saml/overview/) in what situation should I use certificate?
2. in ( https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-securing-clusters-SAML.html) , I am not quiet sure which values should I modify in configuration (what I know is that idp.metadata.path, idp.entity_id should be changed correspond to the 'application' I create in okta. Even though I still failed in deployment)
please give me some suggestion, thanks
(the docs I need to read in your website, or some tutorial page etc.)
