      Note: While adding the IDP configuration to the NetBackup master server, the values entered for the user (-u) and user group (-g) options must match the SAML attribute names (Application Attributes field) that mapped to the userPrincipalName and the memberOf attributes in the AD or LDAP (Identity Bridge Attributes or Literal Value field).
      
      Attribute mappings are used to map SAML attributes in the SSO with its corresponding attributes in the AD or LDAP directory. The SAML attribute mappings are used for generating SAML responses, which are sent to the NetBackup master server.
