Processing Import Files with Multiple SAML 2.0 Providers

If there are multiple providers specified in one import file, the tool imports them into the same affiliate domain with names based on the value you specify for the smfedimport command option -name.

For example, if there are three Service Providers in the import file and you specify:

-name mySP

The tool registers the imported providers as mysp, mysp_1, and mysp_2. The integer increases by one for each subsequent provider. If there is a mixture of Identity Providers and Service Providers in an import file, the naming convention still applies.
