Research direction

Start with the System Manager steps on the page named in the issue and compare them with the CLI example provided. Add the missing instruction to apply the SAML authentication method to the user after configuration. Done means the System Manager guide explains that step clearly.

Page title

Configure SAML authentication for remote ONTAP users

Summary

Hello everyone,
I got the question today, so I'd rather ask for it to be specified in the doc as well.
In the CLI version, it is mentioned that the SAML authentication method needs to be set for the user:
cluster_12::> security login create -user-or-group-name admin1 -application http -authentication-method saml -vserver cluster_12
This step is missing from the "System Manager" version of the guide
