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, you need to enter a value for the following environment variables in the portal section of the global values.yaml 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. 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.

3. Open the browser, and enter the URL in the format:

   <protocol_name>://<ip_address>:<port_number>/control

   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.
   

4. Type the user name and password in the respective fields.
5. Click Log In.
6. The User Profile screen appears. 
7. Click Manage Metadata from the left menu options.
8. Click Add new Service Provider.
   
   
   
   
9. Type the name of the service provider in the Enter the FQDN of the ServiceProvider text box.
10. (Recommended) Select all attributes (FirstName, LastName, and EmailAddress) in the Attributes sent in assertion. 
11. Paste the content of Adeptia (SP) metadata, file downloaded in the first step, in the Insert your metadata information text box.
12. Click Submit. Your metadata information has been imported successfully.

Once the metadata information has been imported successfully, the next step is, Exposing IdP Metadata to Adeptia Connect.
