Before adding new SAML 2.0 federations, make sure you have completed the following tasks:
Use server certificates when creating signatures. This is a requirement when acting as an identity provider. Server certificates are added using a wizard, see Add certificates in Digital Access.
Use access point DNS names in SAML federations. Add these DNS names in the DNS Name tab, found in Global resource settings in Digital Access section.
Note that there are three different licensed features when using SAML "Identity Federation", "Advanced Identity Federation" and "SAML Extension - Identity Provider Discovery".
CA certificates shall be installed. They are used for verifying the signing certificate of requests and replies. These are automatically added if specified by imported metadata.
If you are configuring an identity provider, at least one authentication method must have been configured.
