This step defines the private key you will use to sign SSO authentication or attribute requests (optionally) or SAML 2.0 SLO messages for this IdP. In addition, the step allows you to include "Key Info" with the XML message if you and your partner have agreed to this option.
Digital signing applies to SP-initiated SSO under SAML 2.0, when specified by your partner agreement, and to either SLO profile using the POST or redirect bindings. The step also applies if you are configuring an Attribute Query profile and have specified that you will sign attribute requests.
(The step is not required for SAML 1.x IdP connections.)
