dissociate displayed URL from entityID ?

[Rayene Ben Rayana]

Thanks for this prompt answer!

I'm a bit confused. There must be something I don't understand.

In the web browser, when I do not use the url declared as entityID, I am
able to :
- access the DS page
- select an IdP
- access the IdP page and fill credentials.
But, when I submit, I get the following error :

*Error Message: Invalid IdP URL (HTTP 404)*

Of course, this does not happen when I use the url configured as entityID.

Misconfiguration ?
