Description

Reword the Microsoft Entra how-to danger callout and add a note on the SAML overview page. The plugin now validates the SAML response signature whenever an idp_certificate is set, even when validate_assertion_signature is false. Skipping validation happens only with the flag false and no certificate, which accepts unsigned responses and logs a warning.

Fixes KAG-9220
