We have setup Azure AD as IDP for non-gallery application for SAML2.0, when downloading metadata.xml file for integrating with Service provider, mandatory tag called <NameIDFormat> is missing in the downloaded file.

Could please help on this issue?

    @Ramalingam Velappan , If you want to view or change the Name ID format which will be used in token, you can navigate to Azure Portal > Azure Active Directory > Enterprise applications > All applications > Select your NonGalleryApp > Single sign-on > SAML-based Sign-on > Edit User Attributes & Claims section > Click on Unique User Identifier (Name ID).
