SAML SSO, the metadata url returns Object reference not set to an instance of an object

Help Automation Suite
1

I’m using Automation Suite 2023.10.5 . I’m trying to setup SSO, from the Orchestrator > Admin > Security > Authentication Settings > Configure SSO > SAML 2.0

It gives me a Metadata URL in the form https://xxxxx/UUID/identity_/Saml2

When I try to access this URL it returns

{
"StatusCode":500,
"StatusDescription":"InternalServerError",
"Message":"Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
}

Hi, Are you using Automation Suite? Are you configuring SAML at the host level (enabling the authentication for any org in the cluster) or at the org level?

We do not support metadata documents at the host level. Just at the org level.
There is a bug in our docs at the host level - Automation Suite - Configuring SSO: SAML 2.0 (uipath.com), and the comment is misplaced. I will take action to fix it.

Yes, I’m using Automation Suite.

Well , I was trying to setup the authentication at the org level but since that didn’t work I tried at the host level and that didn’t work either. We can continue the discussion at Automation Suite SAML 2.0 metadata url not working - #2 by Sriram_Vasudevan

The metadata URL will not work until you save. So you need to go thought all the steps , Test and Save and then the metadata URL will be active.

This was pretty confusing for me since I’m setting up with an On-Prem Active Directory and the people managing this wanted to have the UiPath Metadata URL first.
