Does anyone have an example how to create an Samlp connection using the management API.  
Specifically - how to assign the PEM certificate, subject and related properties to the request. The documentation is vague and doesnt have a good example of what fields/datatypes are needed in the options section of the CreateConnection api call

Hi @ian.brown ,

Welcome to the Auth0 Community!

[This](https://community.auth0.com/t/what-are-the-supported-properties-when-creating-a-saml-connection-via-the-management-api/79016/8) topic has the sample scripts for creating the Samlp connection using the management API. Hope this helps!

Thanks that is exactly what I was looking for.  
After some testing I think that for a samlp connection I the minimum you need in the options is…

signingCert = Base64Encoded string of your PEM file (include begin/end certificate text)  
signInEndpoint = the URL for Idp Sign-in ([http://login.microsoftonline.com/](http://login.microsoftonline.com/)/login)  
domain\_alias = [array of string]. The domain name/names that this saml supports ([mydomain.com](http://mydomain.com))
