  SAP Error Message:
  WSS023 No mapping for SAML authentication found (Issuer &3)
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when SAP receives a SAML assertion from an Identity Provider (IdP) with an Issuer value that is not recognized or mapped in the SAP system. Essentially, SAP cannot find a corresponding configuration or trust relationship for the SAML Issuer provided in the authentication request.
  In other words, the SAP system expects a certain Issuer name (entity ID) from the SAML token, but the Issuer in the token does not match any configured SAML Issuer in SAP's SAML 2.0 configuration.

  Solution
  
  
  Verify the Issuer in the SAML Assertion:
