Issuer URL Must Begin with HTTP for POST Authentication Scheme (42578)

Symptom:

The Issuer URL setting for the SAML POST Authentication Scheme configuration requires that the Issuer URL begin with http. The Policy Server User Interface does not let you enter a URL that does not begin with http.

Solution:

The name of the Issuer URL field has been changed to Issuer. Also, edit constraints were changed so that Issuer is no longer required to start with http. This change reflects that the issuer is not a URL, according to the SAML specification.
