Use a Custom Certificate to Sign SAML Requests

Overview

When creating a SAML connection (Authentication > Enterprise > SAML), there is the option to turn on "Sign requests". However, the certificate used to sign these requests (namely: https://<domain>.auth0.com/pem?cert=connection) is self-signed.

This article explains whether there is a way to use a custom certificate to sign these requests, when, for security and compliance reasons, all certificates are required to be signed by a CA.
