Identity Provider Metadata

For configuring your application (SP) with your DNN application metadata, you have three options:

  • Metadata URL

    The metadata URL provided by DNN SAML 2.0 IDP Module contains your DNN application’s SAML metadata information that can be used to configure the application in the SP in one go. You can provide the metadata URL to your service provider. The provided metadata URL will be in this format:

    <BASE_URL>/DesktopModules/idp/API/saml/IDPMetadata/

    DNN SAML IDP - DNN as SAML Identity Provider - Metadata URL

  • Metadata XML

    This file provided by DNN SAML IDP module contains all the information about your DNN application (IDP) in XML format. If the SP supports importing the metadata from a file, then you can configure the application on your SP in minutes by just uploading this metadata file.
    You can download the module XML metadata and upload it to your Service Provider.

  • Configure Service Provider Manually

    You have the option of configuring your SP manually using the IDP URLs displayed in the Identity Provider Metadata section. You will need to copy and paste the required URLs provided in the “Identity Provider Metadata” section into your SP SAML Configuration where you need to provide the required settings and save them to add the DNN application as a SAML IDP.
