SAML SSO for elastic cloud
Hi all,
I am trying to setup SSO for my elastic cloud service, and I follow the instructions of these articles:
https://developer.okta.com/docs/guides/saml-application-setup/overview/
I have some questions:
In step 6 of Okta tutorial, I need to somehow extract "Single sign on URL" and "Audience URI (SP Entity ID)" from my elastic cloud service?
Except for setp 6 in Okta tutorial, should I change any other settings for elastic cloud?
Any suggestion is appreciated, thank you.
Vlad here with Okta's Customer Support Team, thank you for reaching out to us.
In step 6, in order to get to the next step, since you wouldn't have the Single sign on URL and Entity Id yet from the SP, you should populate that field with anything, for example http://example.com/saml/sso/example-okta-com. After completing this part of the process, you will then be able to access the Sign On tab of the newly created app, click on View Setup Instructions and view the information that your SP will need: Identity Provider Single Sign-On URL, Identity Provider Issuer and the Certificate. Once you have these and generate the values from the SP, you will than go back to the app in Okta -> General tab -> SAML Settings and edit these settings and replace the "example.com"values with the ones from the SP. This should be all. If you need further assistance, you could open a Support ticket and we'll be happy to help you with the configuration.
