When Big-IP is used as SAML IdP, SAML metadata could contain invalid NameIDFormat, e.g.: <NameIDFormat Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:SOAP" index="0" isDefault="true">urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress</NameIDFormat>
Metadata could fail to be imported to external Service Providers.
BIG-IP is used as IdP. SAML Artifact Resolution Service is not configured.
Manually correct metadata. E.g. replace this: "<NameIDFormat Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:SOAP" index="0" isDefault="true">urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress</NameIDFormat>" with this: "<NameIDFormat>urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress</NameIDFormat>"
Issue where SAML metadata Tag NameIDFormat would contain invalid information under certain conditions is now fixed.
