Requirement is to crawl website having ADFS Authentication. Enterprise crawler support basic Http Authentication and HTTP proxy authentication.

What are the ways to crawl ADFS Authenticated sites. Using the Elastic Cloud Service for implementing this.

Thanks  
Ashish

I’m not familiar with ADFS, but if it doesn’t support basic auth or bearer token auth, Crawler won’t be able to crawl through ADFS. You’d need to set up a way for a specific proxy to be able to access your site with basic auth or bearer auth. See: [Managing crawls in Kibana | Enterprise Search documentation [8.9] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/enterprise-search/current/crawler-managing.html#crawler-managing-authentication)
