cloud identity engine and Entra ID certificate warning

Carracido — Mon, 02 Mar 2026 12:24:50 GMT

Dear community!

We use cloud identity engine (CIE) to authenticate users with Microsoft Entra as idp

We have renewed Entra SAML Certificate, imported the new metadata to Cloud Identity Engine, and now the Identity Engine display a blue info message stating:
"The service provider (SP) certificate for the Cloud Identity Engine has been renewed. To complete the process, download the SP metadata for each SAML authentication you are using with the Cloud Identity Engine and import the SP metadata to the IdP. When you have completed this step, click here to verify you have updated the metadata for each SAML authentication you use."

-> Any idea if this warning is expected or some additional step has to be done?
-> Any special consideration when changing the certificate in Entra?
-> How we can verify the new certificate is in use?

Many thanks in advance.
