editThe elasticsearch-saml-metadata
command can be used to generate a SAML 2.0 Service
Provider Metadata file.
Synopsis
editbin/elasticsearch-saml-metadata [--realm <name>] [--out <file_path>] [--batch] [--attribute <name>] [--service-name <name>] [--locale <name>] [--contacts] ([--organisation-name <name>] [--organisation-display-name <name>] [--organisation-url <url>]) ([--signing-bundle <file_path>] | [--signing-cert <file_path>][--signing-key <file_path>]) [--signing-key-password <password>] [-E <KeyValuePair>] [-h, --help] ([-s, --silent] | [-v, --verbose])
Description
editThe SAML 2.0 specification provides a mechanism for Service Providers to describe their capabilities and configuration using a metadata file.
The elasticsearch-saml-metadata
command generates such a file, based on the
configuration of a SAML realm in Elasticsearch.
Some SAML Identity Providers will allow you to automatically import a metadata file when you configure the Elastic Stack as a Service Provider.
You can optionally select to digitally sign the metadata file in order to ensure its integrity and authenticity before sharing it with the Identity Provider. The key used for signing the metadata file need not necessarily be the same as the keys already used in the saml realm configuration for SAML message signing.
If your Elasticsearch keystore is password protected, you
are prompted to enter the password when you run the
elasticsearch-saml-metadata
command.
Parameters
edit-
--attribute <name>
-
Specifies a SAML attribute that should be
included as a

-
--contacts
-
Specifies that the metadata should include one or more
<ContactPerson>

- Specifies the path to an existing key pair (in PKCS#12 format). The private key of that key pair will be used to sign the metadata file.
-
--signing-cert <file_path>
-
Specifies the path to an existing certificate (in
PEM format) to be used for signing of the metadata file. You must also specify
the
--signing-key
parameter. This parameter cannot be used with the--signing-bundle
parameter. -
--signing-key <file_path>
-
Specifies the path to an existing key (in PEM format)
to be used for signing of the metadata file. You must also specify the
--signing-cert
parameter. This parameter cannot be used with the--signing-bundle
parameter. -
--signing-key-password <password>
-
Specifies the password for the signing key.
It can be used with either the
--signing-key
or the--signing-bundle
parameters. -
--realm <name>
-
Specifies the name of the realm for which the metadata

saml
realm in your Elasticsearch configuration. -
-s, --silent
- Shows minimal output.

-v, --verbose
- Shows verbose output.
Examples
editThe following command generates a default metadata file for the saml1
realm:
bin/elasticsearch-saml-metadata --realm saml1
The file will be written to saml-elasticsearch-metadata.xml
.
You may be prompted to provide the "friendlyName" value for any attributes that
are used by the realm.
The following command generates a metadata file for the saml2
realm, with a
<ServiceName>
of kibana-finance
, a locale of en-GB
and includes
<ContactPerson>
elements and an <Organization>
element:
bin/elasticsearch-saml-metadata --realm saml2 \ --service-name kibana-finance \ --locale en-GB \ --contacts \ --organisation-name "Mega Corp. Finance Team" \ --organisation-url "http://mega.example.com/finance/"
