Hello,

I am trying to setup an ECE cluster security with SAML.  
This is what I put into the `settings_overrides` for the data nodes:

```
xpack.security.authc.token.enabled: true
xpack.security.authc.realms.saml.saml1:
  order: 2
  idp.metadata.path: "https://xxx_metadata.xml"
  idp.entity_id: "https://xxx.com"
  sp.entity_id: "xxx.com"
  sp.acs: "https://xxx:443/api/security/v1/saml"
  sp.logout: "https://xxx.com/logout"
  attributes.principal: "Principal"
  attributes.groups: "Groups"

```

And this is what I set for the kibana `settings_overrides`:

```
xpack.security.authProviders: [saml, basic]
server.xsrf.whitelist: [/api/security/v1/saml]

```

Kibana never provisions when I add the aforementioned settings.

The error I see in the logs is this:

`ERROR	[kibana]	elastic/elastic.go:117	error making http request: Get https://xxxx:18674/api/status: dial tcp xxxx:18674: connect: connection refused`

I can't find any info about the port 18674...

Also I'm not sure if the elasticsearch configuration goes in the `data` node or `master` node.

Thanks.

The ES configuration should go in _both_ (sorry about that, we're working on making the configuration of multi-topology clusters more intuitive)

Per the SAML docs ([Secure your clusters with SAML | Elastic Cloud Enterprise Reference [3.6] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-enterprise/current/ece-securing-clusters-SAML.html)) the Kibana config is missing (eg):

```auto
xpack.security.public:
  protocol: https
  hostname: d1a45bf330b74c248d7cc2e0ead8e159.192.168.44.10.ip.es.io 
  port: 9243

```

(seems like your hostname would be `xxx.com`)

Are those your client logs? I don't recognize that logging format. Seems plausible that it would be explained by the missing `xpack.security.public`

Note you might also need the trailing `/` on this:

```auto
sp.entity_id: "KIBANA_ENDPOINT_URL/"

```

Thanks @Alex_Piggott, I'm trying that now.

Adding the `xpack.security.public` seems to have done it, thanks @Alex_Piggott.
