Metadata Administration
This page is for site administrators responsible for creating and maintaining SAML metadata on behalf of their organization. For a high-level overview of InCommon Federation metadata, please visit our web site.
Web Interface
A web interface is used to administer InCommon metadata. The interface supports both IdP and SP metadata. The elements of each are referenced in the following sections.
For convenience, a sample interface for new IdPs is attached to this wiki page. Likewise a sample interface for new SPs is attached. To actually create metadata for a new IdP or SP, or to edit the metadata for an existing IdP or SP, login to the web interface with the credentials that were issued to you when your organization joined InCommon. Alternatively, a site administrator may delegate administration of SP metadata to another individual.
IdP Metadata Elements
The following elements are called out in IdP metadata.
For IdP deployments based on the Shibboleth software, there is valuable information in the shib wiki regarding metadata for the Shibboleth IdP.
SP Metadata Elements
The following elements are called out in SP metadata.
