[https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-to-enable-saml-authentication-in-kibana-and-elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-to-enable-saml-authentication-in-kibana-and-elasticsearch)  
Im testing on it.

There's a small incompatiblity between our SAML implementation and ADFS. It should be fixed in the next release.

Following up on this, the change below was included in 6.2.3 and should resolve any outstanding issues with ADFS.
