Symptoms

While configuring SAML from the Admin Console, the user sees the following error when attempting to upload the PEM file: 

Following corresponding errors are printed in the application server log:

ERROR com.appiancorp.rest.shared.AppianExceptionMapper - Internal Server Error on REST API invocation.
com.appiancorp.exceptions.LocalizedAppianRuntimeException$LocalizedAppianException: Expression evaluation error at function a!adminRouter: An error occurred while executing a save: java.lang.VerifyError: class org.bouncycastle.asn1.ASN1Primitive overrides final method equals.(Ljava/lang/Object;)Z (APNX-1-4198-019)

For JBoss, server.log is located in the <JBOSS_HOME>/standalone/log directory. For Tomcat, tomcat-stdOut.log file is located in the <APPIAN_HOME>/log directory.  

Cause
