  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Duplicate Configuration: There is an existing SAML entity configured in the system with the same operation mode (e.g., Identity Provider or Service Provider) that you are trying to create or modify.
  Incorrect Client Settings: The client you are working in may have been incorrectly set up, leading to conflicts with existing configurations.
