Copy service provider SAML metadata

Prerequisites

Verify that you have created a SAML authenticator for Unified Access Gateway on the back-end service provider server.

Procedure

  1. Retrieve the service provider SAML metadata, which is generally in the form of an XML file.

    For instructions, refer to the documentation for the service provider.

    Different service providers have different procedures. For example, you must open a browser and enter a URL such as: https://connection-server.example.com/SAML/metadata/sp.xml

    You can then use a Save As command to save the Web page to an XML file. The contents of this file begin with the following text:

    <md:EntityDescriptor xmlns:md="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata" ...
    
  2. Log in to the Lifecycle Manager and go to Configuration Templates

  3. Click Add.

  4. In the Advanced Settings section, click Configure SAML Settings.

  5. Expand the SAML Server Provider Settings.

  6. In the Service Provider Name text box, enter the service provider name.

  7. In the Metadata XML text box, paste the metadata file you created in step 1.

  8. Click Done.
