    Hello,

    First off thanks for developing this iApp!

    I'm trying to configure the BigIP as an IdP for a custom service provider.

    I tried following the guide and before deploying the iApp I have created a Local IdP Service and an SP connector with details from the service provider.

    When I try to deploy the iApp, I selected the local IdP service as the application and the SP connector as the SP. In this case what should I be putting in "What EntityID do you want to use for your SaaS applications?"

    Should I put the same EntityID as I created in the Local IdP Service? Or something different? I have tried both and I get the following error when I try to deploy the iApp

    01070712:3: Values (/Common/i_saml_idp_SAMLF5_saml_sso) specified for SAML Resource (/Common/i_saml_idp_SAMLF5_saml_resource_sso): foreign key index (saml_sso_config_FK) do not point at an item that exists in the database.

    Any help appreciated.

    Cheers,

    Simon
