SAML Request sign configuration if no option is selected

Problem statement

When a SAML connection is created, some dropdowns in the configuration have empty values. What are the defaults if these dropdowns are kept empty?

Cause

New SAML connections are assigned defaults for these config values, but they are not visible in the UI or via API.

Solution

The defaults are:
Signature algorithm: rsa-sha256
Digest algorithm: sha256
Protocol binding: HTTP-Redirect

It’s important to note that the Protocol binding here applies to the request only and is not related to the response binding.
