      Thanks Michael, We're in the process of setting up SAML Web SSO with an Identity Provider that requires us to also use the Name Identifier Management profile to manage alias user identities internally. The IdP provides both front and back channel bindings for this. We would likely use the front channel only. Using this IdP, and as a consequence the Name Identifier profile, is not a choose. We have to do this. We're intending to use F5 APM as our SP and would like to not need another product as well just for this.

  • Here the list of APM support of SAML 2.0 ("partial support") : sol16497

     

    Maybe not fully up-to-date as it doesn't mention v12 (?)
