Symptoms

SAML SP service metadata exported from APM contains elements in incorrect order which might cause it to fail to be imported by other implementations.

Impact

Import of SAML metadata with SAML IdP from BIG-IP as SP might fail.

Conditions

When SAML metadata is exported from BIG-IP when it is acting as SAML Service Provider, the order of 'SingleLogoutService' and 'AssertionConsumerService' are not right.

Workaround

Edit exported metadata: change the order of elements in the SPSSODescriptor so that SingleLogoutService element goes first in the sequence.

Fix Information

SAML metadata elements are exported in correct order.
