Setting Up SAML2

Before loading metadata, read the following sections and be sure you understand the changes that must be made to the metadata. The SAML2 samples contains instructions on how to setup SAML2.

In all, you must have Identity Provider metadata and extended metadata, as well as Service Provider metadata and extended metadata. In the Identity Provider, import Identity Provider metadata and extended metadata as hosted metadata. Import Service Provider metadata and extended metadata as remote entity metadata. To change the hosted or remote attributes, locate the extended metadata XML element <EntityConfig> which contains the following attribute with default value:

hosted=true

Change the value to false.
