Obtain the OpsManager certificate from https://OPS_MANAGER_IP/api/v0/security/root_ca_certificate and add this CA certificate to the ADFS trust store, so ADFS can trust the “Service Provider Key Certificate” certificate signed by OpsManager ROOT CA.

17. (Optional) To specify any application or group attributes that you want to map to users in the ID token, click Edit Claim Rules… and configure Send LDAP Attributes as Claims.
