Following the 6.8 documentation, I used the following settings in the "User setting overrides"
xpack.security.authc.realms.saml1:
type: saml
order: 2
(other settings omitted)
But when I attempt to save them, I receive the error message:
'xpack.security.authc.realms.saml1.type': is not allowed
I have now found [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/ec-securing-clusters-SAML.html#ec-6x-saml]
which states the proper syntax is:
xpack:
security:
authc:
realms:
cloud-saml:
type: saml
order: 2
... but that doesn't work either; the cluster reconfiguration fails and I don't see details of why in the logs.
