Hi Martin, Were you able to solve this issue? I am facing exactly the same issue getting this error "Tag value to create object name is empty."

    Not yet. But I at least solved this problem with empty Tag value. The problem was that I was using element (tag) which had sub elements with attributes. Once I changed it to an element which does have only value in it the IdP connector is successfully created. But I also had to upgrade to version 15.1.0.2 (in the lab). On version 14 the metadata provided by IdP cannot be imported because of the bug I linked in the original post.

     

    Anyway I have opened SR for IdP automation functionality and will post a result once it is solved. Now the status is that BIG-IP creates IdP connector but does not bind it to a SP service. If binding is done manually it works. But of course the goal is to automate this process.
