• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SAML2_CONFIG_UI008 - All logon contexts have already been added ?

  The SAP error message SAML2_CONFIG_UI008 indicates that all logon contexts have already been added in the SAML2 configuration. This typically occurs when you are trying to add a new logon context to the SAML2 configuration, but the maximum number of allowed logon contexts has already been reached.
  Cause:
  
  Maximum Logon Contexts Reached: The SAML2 configuration in your SAP system has a limit on the number of logon contexts that can be configured. If you attempt to add another logon context beyond this limit, you will encounter this error.
  Configuration Issues: There may be a misconfiguration in the SAML2 settings that is preventing the addition of new logon contexts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Review Existing Logon Contexts: Check the existing logon contexts in the SAML2 configuration. You can do this by navigating to the SAML2 configuration transaction (usually SAML2 in the SAP GUI) and reviewing the list of configured logon contexts.
  
  
  Remove Unused Logon Contexts: If there are any logon contexts that are no longer needed, consider removing them to free up space for new contexts. Be cautious when removing contexts to ensure that you do not disrupt any existing configurations.
  
  
  Check for Duplicates: Ensure that you are not trying to add a logon context that already exists. If a context with the same name or configuration already exists, you will need to modify or remove it before adding a new one.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for SAML2 configuration to understand the limitations and best practices for managing logon contexts.
  
  
  Increase Limit (if applicable): If your system allows it and you need more logon contexts, check if there is a way to increase the limit. This may involve system configuration changes or consulting with your SAP Basis team.
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support: If the issue persists or if you need further assistance, consider checking SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to SAML2 configuration. You can also reach out to SAP Support for help.
