****************************************************************
The importSAMLIdPMetadata admin task for SAML Web Single Sign
On (SAML Web SSO) may generate SAML TAI custom properties that
are incorrect.  The properties affected are:
sso_<id>.idp_<id>.entityID should be sso_<id>.idp_<id>.EntityID
sso_<id>.idp_<id>.singleSignOnUrl should be
sso_<id>.idp_<id>.SingleSignOnUrl
sso_<id>.idp_<id>.certAlias should not exist

Problem conclusion

The importSAMLIdPMetadata admin task for SAML Web SSO is
updated to emit the following properties correctly:

sso_<id>.idp_<id>.EntityID
sso_<id>.idp_<id>.SingleSignOnUrl

Also, the sso_<id>.idp_<id>.certAlias property will not be
emitted.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 7.0.0.37, 8.0.0.11, and 8.5.5.5.  Please refer to the
