Hey, we are currently have elastic cloud with Elasticsearch and kibana on it. The login process atm is via deployments. We are looking to configure AD auth to kibana. I'm a little bit confused with all the guides. What do we actually need in order to configure it from the elastic UI? Do I need to configure kibana.yml or Elasticsearch.yml ? Both are empty atm We have a platinum sub. Thanks for any answer ---
