Uploading Adeptia Connect Metadata to IdP Server

Uploading Adeptia Connect metadata to IdP server allows IdP server to fetch the details of Service Provider such as server name, metadata information, certificate, encryption, single logout, and much more.

To upload the Connect metadata, you need to first download Adeptia (SP) metadata file and upload it to the IdP server. Perform the following steps to upload Adeptia metadata to IdP Server:

1. Open the browser and hit the URL in the format:

   <protocol_name>://<ip_address>:<port_number>/saml/metadata

   where,

   <protocol_name> is the name of the protocol, for example, HTTP or HTTPS.

   <ip_address> is the IP address of the computer hosting Adeptia Connect.

   <port_number> is the port number of the computer hosting Adeptia Connect. 

   For example, http://192.168.1.10:8080/saml/metadata.
   
   

2. The spring_saml_metadata.xml file will get downloaded to your computer. This file will have the default metadata information. 

   If you want to configure your own SP metadata information in the spring_saml_metadata.xml file then

   1. Go to ...<ConnectPortalInstallFolder>/resources_config/saml folder.
   2. Open securityContext.xml file in the Text Editor.

   3. Provide your SP metadata information in the following properties.

      Property Name	Description
      entityID	Unique identifier of the service provider. It can be a unique name.
      entityBaseURL	URL to redirect Adeptia Connect after successful SAML authentication. Needs to be a URL with protocol, server, port, and context path. If you are communicating over SSL protocol, provide the protocol name as https and port number on which Adeptia Connect is running in the URL.
      BindingSSO	Bindings to be included in the metadata for WebSSO profile. Supported values are POST, Artifact, and PAOS.

   4. Save the file.
   5. Repeat Step 1. The spring_saml_metadata.xml file will have the SP metadata information as specified in the securityContext.xml file. 

3. Open the IdP server, here the following steps have been explained for SSO Circle IdP server. The steps to upload the metadata file may vary from server to server.
