Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hi there, I am getting the following error when I use salesforce.com for SAML:

Elasticsearch Logs:

Any ideas?

Hi

Your IdP returns a SAML Response saying that your authentication to the IdP has failed

Response is not a 'success' response: Code=urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:status:AuthnFailed Message=null Detail=null])

I think you should start from the logs of your IdP in order to figure out what is wrong there.

Thank you so much. That helped. I had to do a bit of googling for idP logs for sales force. But it informed with the last post that even System Admin doesn't get it by default.
