dissociate displayed URL from entityID ?

[Rayene Ben Rayana]

You're right,

I just figured out the problem. I was declaring to the community an absolute
AssertionConsumerService location that starts with my entityID's domain name
(https://mycompany.net/SAML2/POST).
The community declaration web form does not seem to accept relative urls so
I had to change it to https://something.local/SAML2/POST and it seems to
work now :)

Thank you very much for your help !
