SAP Analytics Cloud is a SAML Service Provider and not a SAML Identity Provider

Configure SAP HANA to use the SAML Identity Provider you configured for SAP Analytics Cloud by following section "Maintaining SAML Providers" of SAP HANA Administration Guide

High level steps are:

1. Export the SAP HANA SAML Service Provider metadata using XS Admin SAML Service Provider at http://<HANAHOST>:<HANAXSPORT>/sap/hana/xs/admin/#/samlSP on the Metadata tab
2. Import SAP HANA SAML Service Provider metadata into SAML Identity Provider (ADFS, etc)
3. Configure SAML Identity Provider (ADFS Claim Rule, etc) for SAP HANA
4. Export SAML Identity Provider metadata (ADFS, etc)
5. Import SAML Identity Provider metadata into SAP HANA using XS Admin SAML Identity Provider at http://<HANAHOST>:<HANAXSPORT>/sap/hana/xs/admin/#/samlIDP/0
6. Configure SAP HANA users to use SAML and specify the Identity Provider using SAP HANA Studio or http://<HANAHOST>:<HANAXSPORT>/sap/hana/ide/security/
7. Add SAML authentication with the correct Identity Provider to /sap/bc/ina/service/v2 using XS Admin XS Artifact Administration at http://<HANAHOST>:<HANAXSPORT>/sap/hana/xs/admin/#/package/sap.bc.ina.service.v2
