Issue/Introduction

 - Import of metadata using original file (unedited) was successful 
 - while creating partnership observed the following 
      -  had created two entities one sp->local and IDP-Remote
      - after creating the entity  tried to create partnership using option SAML2.0 SP -> SAML 2.0 IDL 
      - on the screen to select Entities from the drop down  able to select the Local entity but 
        the dropdown for Remote entity would not display the created entity 

       

        
 - on checking the created entity observed that entity type for the local entity was configured for SAML 2.0 Token protocol 
   and for the remote entity type was configured to use "wsfed identity provider" 
   

Environment

Release : 12.8.05

Component : SITEMINDER -POLICY SERVER

Cause

 - on checking the created entity observed that entity type for the local entity was configured for SAML 2.0 Token protocol 
   and for the remote entity type was configured to use "wsfed identity provider" 

 

 

Resolution

- entity type has to be the same 
- also wsfed does not support SAML 2.0 Token

 

redefined the entities with the same entity type SAML2 SP -> SAML2 IDP.
