Missing Origin of SAML Key File

[alexbadia1]

Under "Configure Tableau Server SSO," on step "3. On the CONFIGURATION page, perform the following steps:" it references a SAML key file. While the SAML certification file can be downloaded in the previous steps, there is no indication of where to obtain the .key file for the SAML cert.

There's a vague note:

"Customer have to upload A PEM-encoded x509 Certificate file with a .crt extension and a RSA or DSA private key file that has the .key extension, as a Certificate Key file. For more information on Certificate file and Certificate Key file, please refer to this document. If you need help configuring SAML on Tableau Server then please refer to this article Configure Server Wide SAML."

That links to Tableau documentation, but nowhere mentioning where to retrieve the SAML's cert's private key. I think the documentation should go into detail regarding the .key file and how to get one.
