Notes for Installing SAML v2 Plug-in for Federation Services on Windows

The following should be done to install the SAML v2 Plug-in for Federation Services on the Windows operating system.

Before installing the SAML v2 Plug-in for Federation Services on Windows, ensure that the LDAP server is running, and the web container is shutdown. The installer needs to modify files held by the web container process.
After installing the SAML v2 Plug-in for Federation Services on Solaris and Linux, sample metadata templates and a circle of trust will be automatically created. This is not done after installing on Windows. To create metadata templates and a circle of trust on Windows after installation, start your web container and run saml2meta.
