4. Enter a value in the Role Name field.                                                                                                                                                Image Added

Configuration Sets 

The Shibboleth IdP UI has built a registry of all supported properties. Administrator can create Shibboleth configuration sets to group these properties for different Shibboleth instances/environments. For example: Development, QA, Productions.

On the Manage Shibboleth configurations screen the Administrator can perform the following functions:

• Create a new configuration set 

• Edit an existing configuration set 
• Delete a configuration set
