Hello! I would like to create SAML connections via the management API however I’m unable to find the supported properties for this connection.

They are not listed here: Auth0 Management API v2

A similar question was asked here: How to create a new SAML connection using the management API? - #3 by lomesh.patel

Is there somewhere these properties are documented?

Thank you Lihua! This is helpful. Is there somewhere I can find all supported options? I’m looking for the field names for all options on the following page (including certificate upload):

Does this page has the info you are looking for?

Unfortunately it does not. That doesn’t seem to list the options field names to be used in Management API. How would you recommend I find those out?

I’m happy to file a support request if that’s the best next step!

Here is the list of options for creating SAML connection in the Management API. I was able to create the connection successfully.
