When i tried same configuration on Sitecore 9.1, i am getting below exception at transformation of idp claim.

Could not find configuration node: federatedAuthentication/sharedTransformations/setIdpClaim

Any resolution?

I gone through into the greater details of the issue and found the solution.

I replaced the configuration for Idp Claim transformation from

<transformation name="Idp Claim" ref="federatedAuthentication/sharedTransformations/setIdpClaim" />

to

<transformation name="Idp Claim" type="Sitecore.Owin.Authentication.Services.SetIdpClaimTransform, Sitecore.Owin.Authentication" />

This resolved my issue.
