UPLOAD SAML IDP fAILED – Failed to parse IDP Metadata on pALO aLTO fIREWALL

When setting up SAML IDP on Palo Alto firewall (version 10.0.6) we are importing the XML file provided by our SAML vendor.

However, when importing it we get the following error message:

Upload SAML IDP Failed
Failed to parse IDP Metadata.

The problem is that the “Profile Name” field is limited to 31 characters, but it isn’t validated by the firewall. From the validation when making a new SAML Identity Provider, only alphanumeric characters, underscore ‘_’, hyphen ‘-‘, dot ‘.’ or spaces are permitted.

If you decrease the length of the name, it will import the metadata correctly.
