Identity Provider Metadata
Identity Provider (IdP) Metadata is an XML document that contains essential configuration details required by the Service Provider to establish trust and enable SAML communication. It includes information such as the IdP Entity ID/Issuer, SAML Login URL, SAML Logout (SLO) URL, and X.509 certificate.
The IdP Metadata tab of the module allows you to share this metadata in three different ways, making it easy to configure and integrate with different Service Providers.
- Using the Metadata URL
- URL Format:
https://{base-url}/moidp_metadata
- Using XML File
- Download the file using the Download XML Metadata button.
- Manual
- Provide IDP attributes manually to the service provider to configure SSO.
- Navigate to the IDP Metadata tab and copy the following attributes: IdP Entity ID/Issuer, SAML Login URL, SAML Logout URL, and X.509 certificate. Provide this information to your Service Provider.
