so i have gone through that document in that step 1 2 3 should be doing it from our side or done by the SAML team ? And if its from our side what and how should we generate a private and public key and is it self signed or intermediate/rootCA how do we know ? Also they SAML team was mentioning that the

ID : servername.2.3175F2E8-B095-4E40-B7CD-C3EACE0EA378 is something like this they were mentioning that ID shouldnt be having all that except the server name.

Also step 8

Can you let me know these things in detail ?
