Closes elastic#246963 ## Summary Adds logging of new "unsolicited InResponseTo" error condition returned from Elasticsearch. This will allow us to identify and filter this specific scenario in serverless logs. Additionally, the request ID is now retrieved directly from the Elasticsearch response metadata rather than parsed from the SAML response. This PR also adds parsing of request ID in our mock SAML IDP plugin. This allows us to use the mock IDP for both SP (service provider) initiated and IDP (identity provider) initiated logins. Lastly, this PR moves the `getSAMLRequestId` utility function to the mock IDP utils package to remove duplication. ### Testing #### Mock IDP - Start ES & KB locally in serverless mode - Navigate to the Kibana URL - Verify the redirect to the mock IDP with a SAML request parameter (http://localhost:5601/mock_idp/login?SAMLRequest=<encoded_value>) - Select a role and click Login - Verify logs ``` [INFO ][plugins.mockIdpPlugin] Sending SAML response for request ID: ` _SOME_ID` [INFO ][plugins.security.authentication] Performing login attempt with "saml" provider. [INFO ][plugins.security.saml.cloud-saml-kibana] Removing requestId _SAME_ID from the state. ``` - Log out - Navigate directly to the mock IDP (http://localhost:5601/mock_idp/login) - Select a role and click Login - Verify logs ``` [INFO ][plugins.security.authentication] Performing login attempt with "saml" provider. [INFO ][plugins.security.saml.cloud-saml-kibana] No requestId found in SAML response or state does not contain requestId. ... [INFO ][plugins.security.authentication] Login attempt with "saml" provider succeeded (requires redirect: true). ``` #### Unsolicited InResponseTo - Start ES & KB locally in serverless mode - Navigate to the Kibana URL - Open the browser dev tools and delete the "sid" cookie - Click Login - Verify logs ``` [INFO ][plugins.mockIdpPlugin] Sending SAML response for request ID: _SOME_ID [INFO ][plugins.security.authentication] Performing login attempt with "saml" provider. [ERROR][plugins.security.saml.cloud-saml-kibana] Failed to log in with SAML response, SP-initiated, unsolicited InResponseTo: _SAME_ID, no state - possible delayed login, current requestIds: , error: {...} [ERROR][plugins.security.authentication] Login attempt with "saml" provider cannot be handled. ``` --------- Co-authored-by: kibanamachine <42973632+kibanamachine@users.noreply.github.com> (cherry picked from commit f87355a) # Conflicts: # packages/kbn-mock-idp-plugin/server/plugin.ts # src/platform/packages/private/kbn-mock-idp-utils/src/index.ts
