The IAS asserting party, although disabled, in provisioning has ticked the default issuer button in the "SAML v2 : SP-initiated login".

  1. In the IAS asserting party uncheck the default issuer button in "SAML v2 : SP-initiated login".
  2. Set "Enable sp initiated login (AuthnRequest)" to No.
  3. Set "Send request as Company-Wide issuer" to No.
