Uploading Adeptia Connect Metadata to IdP Server

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

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

1. Open the browser and hit the URL in the format to download the Adeptia (SP) metadata file.

   <protocol_name>://<ip_address>:<port_number>/saml2/service-provider-metadata/<registration_Id>

   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.

   <registration_Id> is the name of the IdP, defined in the saml.properties file, to which you want to import Adeptia Connect metadata. 

   For example, http://192.168.1.10:8080/saml2/service-provider-metadata/default.
   
   

   The spring-<registration_Id>-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-<registration_Id>-metadata.xml file, you need to configure the following properties in the saml.properties file. 

   Variable Name	Description
   SAML_SSO_METADATA_GENERATOR_ENTITY_ID	Unique identifier of the Service Provider. It can be a unique name.
   SAML_SSO_METADATA_GENERATOR_ENTITY_BASE_URL	URL to redirect Adeptia Connect after successful SAML authentication. It 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.

2. Open the browser, and hit the URL of the IdP.

   Depending upon the IdP server that you're using, the login page appears. For example, the screen below depicts the login page of SSOCircle IdP.

   The steps to upload the metadata file may vary from one IdP to another.
