How to configure IdP with zero info from SP ?

Hello,

I am trying to add a new SP to our IdP... the SP is very uncooperative :(
they provide no metadata, no entityid... etc. Their UI just has to fields
for me to fill:

Entry point is the URL of your school's SAML server endpoint that will
perform Single Sign On authentication. Acadeum will redirect your students
to this URL when performing Single Sign On login. After your SAML server
has authenticated the student, it will redirect back to Acadeum with the
student's info such as their email address.

Certificate *
The certificate of your school's SAML server that will be used to validate
the authenticity and integrity of SAML messages received from your school's
SAML server. The certificate is generated from your school's SAML server
private key that is used to sign outgoing SAML messages


so I tried entering our IdP signing certificate and for entry point I tried
:

https://idp.cua.edu/idp/profile/SAML2/Redirect/SSO

This causes their UI to redirect my browser to perform a SAML login... and
our IdP errors out : A non-proceed event occurred while processing the
request: MessageAuthenticationError

I created and added a metadata file for this SP, using the entity ID I see
them using in their SAML request attempts....

Their GET request contains some extra params, in addition to the
SAMLRequest:


   1. RelayState:

   {"institutionId":000,"redirectTo":"/settings/authentication","redirectToWebsite":"courseshare","singleSignOnSetupToken":"00965f0....d06af2"}
   2. SigAlg:
   http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#rsa-sha1
   3. Signature:
   AYeGoLLzUEVyShLw....


Is it possible to configure our IdP to work with such SP ?

Thanks,
Mohamed.
