Hi Nadeesha,

This issuer value implies which party issues the SAML request or the
response. If you look at the SAML flow, Authentation request is issued by
the service provider who is requesting the authentication of an entity from
the IDP. SAML Response is issued by the IDP in response to this
authentication request received from SP. Hence the issuer of SAML Response
is the IDP entity ID. In WSO2 Identity Server you can configure this value
under Resident Identity Provider.

For more information refer the SAML2 specification[1], 2.2.5 Element
<Issuer>.

Thanks,
Pushpalanka.
