Set up a NameID policy for SAML. SAML 2.0 requires the IdP to exchange a NameID token with the service provider.

## Vorbereitungen

Role required: sso_config_admin, business_rule_admin, script_include_admin

## Warum und wann dieser Vorgang ausgeführt wird

For the SAML 2.0 integration the NameID token must map to a particular field in the User table. The integration uses the NameID token's value to determine what user the IdP authenticates.

## Prozedur

1. Browse the IdP metadata to find the `NameIDFormat` element that contains a value of `emailAddress`.  
   The value of this element is the default format that the integration uses.
2. Review other `NameIDFormat` elements to determine if there are formats that match other fields in the User table.
