• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SAML2_CONFIG_UI024 - Logon policy &1 is already in use ?

  The SAP error message SAML2_CONFIG_UI024 indicates that a logon policy you are trying to create or modify is already in use. This typically occurs in the context of configuring SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) for Single Sign-On (SSO) in SAP systems.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to create a new logon policy with a name that is already assigned to an existing logon policy. In SAP, logon policies are used to define how users authenticate and log on to the system, and each policy must have a unique identifier.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Logon Policies:
  
  Go to the SAML2 configuration transaction in SAP (usually SAML2).
  Navigate to the logon policies section and review the existing policies to see if the one you are trying to create already exists.
  
  
  
  Modify Existing Policy:
  
  If the logon policy you are trying to create already exists, you can either modify it or delete it if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Use a Different Name:
  
  If you need to create a new logon policy, choose a different, unique name that does not conflict with existing policies.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that no other configurations or settings are dependent on the logon policy you are trying to create or modify. If there are dependencies, you may need to address those first.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on managing SAML configurations and logon policies.
