How to set up Okta SAML login for Kibana on Elastic Cloud

The blog post outlines a detailed guide on setting up Okta SAML login for Kibana on Elastic Cloud, focusing on integrating Okta as an Identity Provider for single sign-on (SSO) authentication using SAML 2.0. It begins with preparing an Elastic Cloud deployment by creating an instance with Elasticsearch and Kibana, followed by configuring the SAML settings with placeholders to be filled during the Okta setup. The process proceeds with creating a SAML application in Okta, where specific settings from the Elastic deployment are used to configure the application, including audience URI and single sign-on URL. The guide explains how to connect Okta to Elastic by replacing placeholders in the SAML settings with Okta-generated values and mapping Okta groups to Elastic roles to manage user permissions in Kibana. It concludes with testing the SSO integration to ensure successful login via Okta and provides additional resources for troubleshooting and further learning.
