[Support for SAML](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/6.2/saml-realm.html) was added to X-Pack in version 6.2.

There were a couple of bug fixes related to SAML in the first patch releases so we really suggest you upgrade to `6.2.3` (or the latest patch release available at the time you upgrade)

No. As @Christian_Dahlqvist [already answered](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/what-is-the-minimum-version-required-of-elasticsearch-for-integrating-saml/127584/2) , it was introduced to X-Pack in 6.2
