When we receive a SAML response assertion from an Identity Provider and it’s missing one or more of the required attributes, the error could be more specific.  

Currently, it just says: “Something went wrong         The response assertion is missing a required attribute”

We recommend adding the names of the missing attributes in the error message.  It would save time with troubleshooting.

For example, it could read as follows: “Something went wrong         The response assertion is missing a required attribute: <Attribute Name>”

Thanks for sharing this idea with us, ​@Mike Cunningham. We’ve reviewed it and appreciate the thought behind it.

At this time, we’re not planning to pursue this request, so we’ve marked it as parked. 

While it’s not on our current roadmap, ideas like yours help inform future direction if priorities change.

Thanks again for contributing your input.
