Custom Method for Generating Service Provider Metadata

FlexNet Code Insight 6.14.0

This process describes how to generate SP metadata using a secure keystore, ensuring that a signed certificate is used to authenticate all communication between the SP and IdP. (The keystore can be the same one used to configure HTTPS for the Code Insight Core Server or another keystore created with a signed certificate.) This custom method requires the Spring Security SAML Extension web application to generate the SP metadata according to your input. The following topics describe each step in this process:

Step 1: Download and Configure the Spring Security SAML Extension
Step 2: Generate the SP Metadata
Step 3: Configure the SSO Common Properties File

If you do not require additional encryption or signing for SSO, you can generate your SP metadata using the default keystore for SSO, as described in Default Method for Generating Service Provider Metadata.
