Store and activate the necessary IdP certificates for your SAML
configuration.  
The X.509 certificates are the IdP certificates that a SAML configuration uses. After you install a certificate, you can add as many certificates as necessary. When there are multiple certificates, the system uses the first active certificate that is found. If you set the URL for the Metadata URL from which IDP properties are imported field, the system automatically polls the IdP for a current, valid certificate when your certificate is no longer valid. It appends this certificate to your instance, and uses it for your active SAML configuration.  
Hinweis:  
Polling occurs if the IdP is accessible outside of your network.
