Symptoms

When performing Access Policy sync with SAML resources, you receive an error that the saml_sp_connector object cannot be found on the receiving device. "Feb 27 13:30:40 cooper-apm-11-4-1-2 err mcpd[6222]: 01070734:3: Configuration error: Cannot find saml_sp_connector object /Common/SomethingTOSync associated with saml_sso_config object /Common/federate.f5.com-attask"

Impact

Unable to sync Access Policy when there is SAML resources and SAML SP Connector are there.

Conditions

Policy Sync failed with SAML resources.

Workaround

To work around the problem, create the saml-sp-connector on the second BIG-IP system and then perform the sync. Sync will complete successfully for the other objects. Here are tmsh commands for creating a SAML SP connector: apm sso saml-sp-connector SomethingTOSync { assertion-consumer-uri http://SomethingToSync entity-id http://SomethingTOSync.com } (It appears that when creating a new object, the order is not correct and the saml-sp-connector does not get created before the resource object.)

Fix Information

None
