Issue

When using ONTAP System Manager to configure SAML authentication, clicking Save results in an error banner if the IdP URI address used contains a question mark (?).

Example:
https://login.microsoftonline.com/xxxxxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/federationmetadata/2007-06/federationmetadata.xml?appid=nnnnnnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnn-nnnnnnnnnnnn

The data file was not downloaded from the specified IdP URI.
