Today, Shield supports [custom realms](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/shield/current/custom-realms.html), which let you build your own integration with OAuth and let Shield provide the security in ES. Longer term, we'd like to have a built-in integration, but the custom realms let you get started today.
