The only thing that cares is your client, you can do name resolution
anyway you want to.

Read the documentation on what an entityID is, it is *not* a location.

>Attribute value *Location* of the element *AssertionConsumerService*

You set it to something that will resolve for your client.

It does, so you're doing something incorrectly. But if it doesn't work,
then pick a name, and set it in your client's hosts file.

Or just get an external DNS entry. It's not that hard.
