Can SAML request issuer and SP connector entity id be different

Hi,

You have to check 2 things, so it's a good thing that you use Fiddler.

Capture saml request using fiddler then decode the saml request using this link:

https://www.samltool.com/decode.php

Then checked the following point in your saml request (decode):

• saml issuer

It will be your SP entity ID that you set in your external SP

• ACS: saml AssertionConsumerServiceURL

AssertionConsumerServiceURL="It will be ACS URL that you set on your external SP"

if that's not the case you have to change the settings of your external sp on F5, for addapter. Sometimes you retrieve metadata of an external app and app owner change them without provide you the new info...

Hope it's clear. keep me update.
