Question, you mentioned in Fortiauthenticator IdP configuration, that under the interface https services you must have SAML IdP enabled but if you have a HA-setup, that option is not available. Does it mean that we need a separate interface for enabling the service or can it be done using the existing interface, which is used for HA?

Thanks, this is a really useful video! Just curious if you are aware how this could be deployed at scale? Or do you always have to configure each SP individually

[@tothepointfortinet3823]

as far as I know each SP needs to be configured individually, not sure there'd be many scenarios where customers would need say hundreds of SPs?

What is the next step to use the SSO portion? Meaning, the Fortigate is detecting with Windows account that is already logged in on the PC/device and passes the credentials to the webpage?
