Conditions

This occurs when the BIG-IP system is configured as SAML IdP, as follows: 2. SAML SP connector is configured similar to the following: apm sso saml-sp-connector /Common/bigip_sp { assertion-consumer-uri "https://chisd94036/login_saml.aspx\?SAMLRESPONSE=1&usertype=4&reauth=&f=" entity-id https://172.31.54.61/bigip/sp } 3. SAML resource and SAML SSO object are configured, and the previously configured SAML SP connector is assigned, as follows: apm sso saml /Common/bigip_sp_sso { attributes { { name myname value "%{session.logon.last.username}" } { name Password value "%{session.sso.token.last.password}" } } entity-id https://bigip-example.com/idp idp-certificate /Common/samlsp_bigip.crt idp-signkey /Common/samlsp_key.key log-level info sp-connectors { /Common/bigip_sp } subject-value person@example.com } apm sso saml-resource /Common/bigigp_as_SP_res { customization-group /Common/bigigp_as_SP_res_saml_link_customization_1 sso-config-saml /Common/bigip_sp_sso } 4.
