SAML invalidate API
editSAML invalidate API
editSubmits a SAML LogoutRequest message to Elasticsearch for consumption.
This API is intended for use by custom web applications other than Kibana. If you are using Kibana, see the Configuring SAML single-sign-on on the Elastic Stack.
Request
editPOST /_security/saml/invalidate
Description
editThe logout request comes from the SAML IdP during an IdP initiated Single Logout.
The custom web application can use this API to have Elasticsearch process the LogoutRequest.
After successful validation of the request, Elasticsearch invalidates the access token
and refresh token that corresponds to that specific SAML principal and provides
a URL that contains a SAML LogoutResponse message, so that the user can be
redirected back to their IdP.
Elasticsearch exposes all the necessary SAML related functionality via the SAML APIs. These APIs are used internally by Kibana in order to provide SAML based authentication, but can also be used by other custom web applications or other clients. See also SAML authenticate API, SAML prepare authentication API, SAML logout API, and SAML complete logout API.

If the SAML IdP has signed the logout request, the URL should include two extra parameters namedSigAlgandSignaturethat contain the algorithm used for the signature and the signature value itself.
