If you are running the Shibboleth IdP 3.4 or higher, managing the Shibboleth Identity Provider (IdP) and integrating new service providers (SPs) just got easier!
The Shibboleth UI is a graphical interface for the Shibboleth IdP* that enables identity administrators to create Service Provider (SP) metadata files from "scratch, import metadata for an SP, and add entity attributes to that metadata to impact relying party settings such as required authentication context, what is signed, signature algorithm, encryption, forced authentication, etc.
