Folks, I need help to figure out what is going on with my redash SAML configuration. We use google as our identity provider and since they don’t provide an endpoint to serve their metadata URL. I basically downloaded the IDP metadata and spun a link in my nginx container pointing to the file in my case index.xml. but i keep seeing a parse error “not well formed invalid token” in the logs when i try to sign in using SAML. Can anyone please help with what i might be doing wrong. I am running a V 8.0.0.b32245 on docker
here are the server logs:
