SAML and signing the whole message

I'm trying to federate with a Saas, which we are using SAML 2.0. They require the SAML response message have a signature. Currently I think that F5 only signs the assertions. Is there a way for the whole message to be signed? I do have "Assertion sent to SP by this device -> Must by Signed" check off but the SP wants the whole message to have the whole message signed.

    The feature is added from v11.4.1, but the option is not integrated in GUI. It can be enabled with tmsh command.

     

    tmsh modify apm sso saml-sp-connector test-sp want_response_signed true

     

    tmsh save sys config

      Thank you! I just had this same problem, and this answered it. I guess it is still not surfaced in the GUI even in 11.5.3, but it is in TMSH.
