Unable to pass property sonar.auth.saml.certificate.secured in sonar.properties file

SonarQube Server / Community Build
1

Hello, we are currently using SonarQube 10.7 deployed as a zip file and connected to Azure SQL Database.
We are trying to automate the Sonarqube installation, upgrades processes.
As part of it we are trying to pass SAML config parameters through sonar.properties file
we are having issues passing certificate via the property {{sonar.auth.saml.certificate.secured}}
Looking for some help in passing the certificate the right way so Sonarqube can recognize it during startup.

Below is the error when it is unable to find the certificate when trying to login

Hey there.

Except for those configuration properties listed by default in the conf/sonar.properties file, you must set configuration in the UI or using the settings domain of Web APIs.
