HTTP Web Server: You are forbidden to perform this operation

Jane, I'm hopping you can help with "HTTP Web Server: You are forbidden to perform this operation" when a SAML assertion is posted to names.nsf?SAMLLogin

SAML successfully redirects to the exernal SAML authentication provider and attempts to post the SAML assertion to DOMINO.

Any tips?

check the IdP partnership configuration

If you get the "forbidden" message from the Domino web server, check the IdP partnership configuration. In particular, make sure that the postback url is pointing to the correct Internet site on the Domino server.

The Domino web server should receive a POST method, and receiving some other method could also cause the forbidden message. It can be helpful to enable http thread logging to see the request/response chains for further troubleshooting. See here for further information on http thread logging:
