Deployment Example 2: Federation Using SAML v2

10.3 Loading the SAMLv2 Metadata

When you load the SAMLv2 metadata into Directory Server, the Service Provider entity configuration is created. The entity configuration enables the SAMLv2 plug-in to recognize all SAMLv2 protocol URLs. The SAMLv2 metadata is also used for exchanging data with remote parties.
