Importing SAML Identity Provider Metadata

You can import SAML identity provider metadata through the Administration > SAML > Import SAML IDP MetaData option.

The identity provider will provide the metadata that must be imported into MFT. The identity provider metadata is typically distributed in a file and consists of XML that describes the identity provider. It typically contains the following information:
  • X.509 certificates used to sign and encrypt SAML data
  • Single Sign On and Single Log Out end points

The following figure shows the Import SAML Identity Provider MetaData page:

Paste the data in the identity provider metadata into this page, and then click Import. MFT will validate that the data is in a proper XML format and contains valid identity provider data.
