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](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.

I found my problem. I had botched the Kibana endpoint names in the sp.xxx settings.

Apologies.
