SAML idP sends back a LogoutResponse at the end of the logout workflow. It can be sent via either HTTP-Redirect binding or HTTP-POST binding. Currently, the HTTP-Redirect request is simply ignored by Kibana and never reaches ES. It does not cause any obvious issue and the workflow is completed normally from user's perspective.
The HTTP-POST request results in a 404 error because POST request is not accepted by Kibana's logout end-point. This causes a non-trivial issue because it renders an error page in user's browser. In addition, some resources do not seem to be fully cleaned up due to the error, e.g. the username will be pre-filled when trying to login again after the 404 error.
This PR solves both of the above issues from ES side with a new /_security/saml/complete_logout end-point. Changes are still needed on Kibana side to relay the messages.
