Certificate help

Question

I am getting lost with all the certs so can someone please help me. While I have System SAML SSO logins working I noticed that one of the certs involved I have no clue where it came from. So I am trying to understand which cert is needed where.

On the FortiGate:

SAML SSO SP Cert: I am guessing this should be the cert of the SP. If the SP Address is john.com the cert should be the cert+key of john.com.

SAML SSO IdP cert: This should be the cert of the IdP (imported as a remote cert). In my case the ADFS server.

On the ADFS Server:

Matching Relaying party trust Encryption: ADFS Cert

Matching Relaying party trust Signature: ADFS Cert

Does this sound correct?

Not being a Windows person it took me a bit to figure out where my extra cert came from. So I would like to correct the cert listing I have above.

On the FortiGate:

SAML SSO SP Cert: I am guessing this should be the cert of the SP. If the SP Address is john.com the cert should be the cert+key of john.com.

SAML SSO IdP cert: This should be the cert of the IdP (imported as a remote cert). In my case the ADFS server Token-decrypoting Cert.

On the ADFS Server:

Matching Relaying party trust Encryption: ADFS Service Communication Cert

Matching Relaying party trust Signature: ADFS Service Communication Cert
