Hi,  
Day 3… Continue my SAML fight… I can finally login to the AWX using SAML authentication method, but my username is shown as 32 characters string like this one: f7da396ebde947069841feb69f8bed7c

My configuration:

`

{  
“samlLogin”: {  
“entity\_id”: “https://…/samlidp2/saml20”,  
“url”: “https://…/samlidp2/saml20/login”,  
“x509cert”: “…”,  
“attr\_user\_permanent\_id”: “name\_id”,  
“attr\_first\_name”: “User.FirstName”,  
“attr\_last\_name”: “User.LastName”,  
“attr\_username”: “User.email”,  
“attr\_email”: “User.email”  
}  
}

`

Hi,  
Did you check the redirection is happening from SAML, if redirection is happening then please share us the error message.
