error when executing samlpull command

I installed your app on a SHC with SAML (ADFS) configured.

When executing | samlpull, I get an error. Inside log, I see:

Hi @sylbaea
It looks like you havent configured the app to point to an authentication.conf file with your intended SAML roles in.
I'll be writing better documentation for this over the coming weeks, however in the meantime:

Navigate to the app's configuration page from the nav bar once within the app.
Populate the authorization_conf_url field (badly named!) with a link to your authentication.conf file, along with any auth headers required to get to the url. It must be HTTPS.

Once done, try the command again and let me know how you get on!

ah yes, I fully missed the config part, thought it was working out of the box.
Will try and let you know. Thanks.
