# Which Problems Are Solved
Adding a SAML IDPs with an empty metadata XML and URL leads to failed
projection events. The main IDP template projection succeeds, but the
subtable projection for SAML template fails, because the metadata field
is not nullable in that table. The SAML IDP shows up in list queries,
because the list method only queries the main template projection.
However, getting a SAML IDP created without metadata by ID misses the
SAML specific IDP data.
# How the Problems Are Solved
- The command for adding a SAML IDP properly ensures that non-empty
metadata is either given by XML or resolved by URL.
- The console doesn't send requests with empty metadata anymore. This
works by explicitly setting a single oneof option for either XML or URL
and emptying the other one.

# Which Problems Are Solved
ZITADEL currently always uses
`urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent` in SAML requests,
relying on the IdP to respect that flag and always return a peristent
nameid in order to be able to map the external user with an existing
user (idp link) in ZITADEL.
In case the IdP however returns a
`urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient` (transient)
nameid, the attribute will differ between each request and it will not
be possible to match existing users.
# How the Problems Are Solved
This PR adds the following two options on SAML IdP:
- **nameIDFormat**: allows to set the nameid-format used in the SAML
Request
- **transientMappingAttributeName**: allows to set an attribute name,
which will be used instead of the nameid itself in case the returned
nameid-format is transient
# Additional Changes
To reduce impact on current installations, the `idp_templates6_saml`
table is altered with the two added columns by a setup job. New
installations will automatically get the table with the two columns
directly.
All idp unit tests are updated to use `expectEventstore` instead of the
deprecated `eventstoreExpect`.

Adds a id_attribute to the GenericOAuthProvider, which is used to map the external User. Further mapping can be done in actions by using the `rawInfo` of the new `ctx.v1.providerInfo` field.
Add management functionality for LDAP idps with templates and the basic functionality for the LDAP provider, which can then be used with a separate login page in the future.
