Hello,

We were looking to incorporate SAML login for our hosted elastic cloud, however the cloud configuration option for elasticsearch.yml does not have support for the required options. Supported options listed at [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/cluster-config.html#user-settings](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud/current/cluster-config.html#user-settings) does not include options used for SAML configuration as indicated at [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/\_configure\_elasticsearch\_for\_saml\_authentication.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/_configure_elasticsearch_for_saml_authentication.html).

Is there another way to implement SAML for hosted Elastic Cloud?

No, sorry.  
I'm afraid that SAML is not currently available on Elastic Cloud.

Are there any plans to include SAML for hosted cloud in the future?

Definitely, but I don't have a timeframe to offer you at the moment.
