I have an Elasticsearch 7.1.1/Kibana-oss-7.1.1 cluster up using Opendistro security plugins. I am able to log in using internal users. SAML is configured on ES cluster and I see it getting loaded by the nodes, in the logs. When I set auth to SAML, on Kibana, it starts up and indicates it is connecting to the cluster. But when I go to the Kibana main page I get the error ‘Something went wrong while retrieving the SAML configuration, please check your settings’ Instead of getting redirected to the idP login page. I bumped up all the logging and I don’t see any errors or indications of why kibana is failing to get the SAML configs from the ES. # kibana.yml elasticsearch.hosts: [“[https://elasticsearch.local:9200](https://elasticsearch.local:9200)”] elasticsearch.username: “kibana” elasticsearch.password: “” server.ssl.enabled: true server.ssl.certificate: /etc/ssl/kibana.crt server.ssl.key: /etc/ssl/kibana.key opendistro\_security.auth.type: “saml” server.xsrf.whitelist: [“/\_opendistro/\_security/saml/acs”] ---

@lrsmith Did you get this resolved? If not, can you provide your config.yml file? (redact any sensitive details)
