Description

I’m attempting to configure SAML and my SAML admin view does not include a Public Cert Contents option. How do I “switch on” the Public Cert Contents option?

The documentation mentions a Public Cert Contents option

See the Rocket.chat SAML Server settings docs

What I see:
I get the Custom Certificate and Private Key Contents but not the Public Cert Contents option.

More context… I’m getting an error message about a missing cert (which I figure is due to the lack of a public certificate, which I can’t add)

  server.js:204 steffo:meteor-accounts-saml ➔ error SAML Service: You must specify both cert and key files.

I’ve upgraded to Rocket.Chat 4.0.1, now I do see the Public Cert Contents but in 4.0.1 it seems the SAML Advanced section has been removed, which means I can’t control the Identifier Format.
