These sorts of details aren't covered in the subscriptions page. You need to reference the product documentation:

> **[Configuring SAML single-sign-on on the Elastic Stack | Elasticsearch Guide...](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/saml-guide-stack.html#saml-guide-idp)**

As Tim mentioned, the docs have this info;

> The Elastic Stack supports the **SAML 2.0** _Web Browser SSO_ and the **SAML 2.0** _Single Logout_ profiles and can integrate with any Identity Provider (IdP) that supports at least the SAML 2.0 _Web Browser SSO Profile_ . It has been tested with a number of popular IdP implementations, such as [Microsoft Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS)](https://www.elastic.co/blog/how-to-configure-elasticsearch-saml-authentication-with-adfs).
