Metadata Administration

This page is for metadata 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 listed in the following sections.

A sample interface for new IdPs is attached to this wiki page for convenience. Likewise a sample interface for new SPs is provided. 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.
