Hi,

I see from [this post](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/integrated-windows-authentication-support/82331) that Kerberos support is on your roadmap, I was just wondering if you had an idea of when it might be included in X-Pack?

We don't have a firm date yet, the next expected authentication feature will be SAML, we are expecting Kerberos to happen sometime after that.

Thanks.
