Error during SAML SP metada import ( '#default' is not a valid value for 'NMTOKEN')

Access Manger customer was trying to import a Service Provider metadata. Metadata import failed with below error:

Admin Console catalina.out shows below exception:

msingh12:~ # tailf /opt/novell/nam/adminconsole/logs/catalina.out
com.novell.nidp.NIDPException: cvc-datatype-valid.1.2.1: '#default' is not a valid value for 'NMTOKEN'.

<Signature> </Signature> part of metadata was having an element     <InclusiveNamespaces PrefixList="#default md saml ds xs xsi" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/xml-exc-c14n#" />.

Changing the element to <InclusiveNamespaces PrefixList="md saml ds xs xsi" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/xml-exc-c14n#" /> (removing the #default) fixes the issue.

SP metadata is uploaded successfully after using the above workaround.

A bug is raised for this issue.
