Are you using Azure Cloud MFA or Azure MFA Server?

The log shows that it's failing while validating the signature of SAML.

You may try this out:

1) Uncheck 'Validate Identity Provider Certificate,' and 'Sign SAML Message to IDP' on the Device -> Server Profiles -> SAML Identity Provider.
2) Set to 'None' in 'Certificate for Signing Requests' and 'Certificate Profile' on the Device -> Authentication Profile -> authentication profile you configured for Azure SAML.

 

Hope this helps,
