Federation Manager 5.0 is slated for release on May 13, 2020.
Federation Manger 5.0 sports a brand new metadata management user interface for Site Administrators (SA) and Delegated Administrators (DA). The new interface provides a step-by-step, guided experience to help a user break down the complex task of entering/editing SAML metadata. The ability to peek at the matching XML snippets along the way helps with understanding what your final SAML metadata will look like.
Federation Manager now saves your work as you go along. This is a particularly useful feature when registering a new entity. Enter what you know. Come back later to enter the rest without having to re-type everything all over again.
Prior to version 5.0, to un-publish an entity from the InCommon metadata, a Site Administrator had to either delete the entity from Federation Manager altogether or petition the Federation Registration Authority to un-publish on their behalf. Starting in version 5.0, a Site Administrator can un-publish an entity from the InCommon metadata without deleting it from Federation Manager.
It's there now if you need it: you can now set the index number assigned to each Assertion Consumer Service endpoint in the SP metadata.
We've overhauled the entire signing and encrypting key management interface:
