Phase 1: Generate Service Provider Metadata

FlexNet Code Insight 6.14.0

The first phase in configuring FlexNet Code Insight for SSO involves generating your site’s Service Provide (SP) metadata. This metadata is required to register your site with the Identity Provider (IdP). FlexNet Code Insight offers two methods for creating SP metadata:

Default method—Provides secure SSO communications. This method, which uses the default keystore shipped with Code Insight, is a notably easy process, requiring minimal input from the user. See Default Method for Generating Service Provider Metadata for details.
Custom method—Ensures that additional encryption and signing are used to authenticate communication between the SP and the IdP. This method requires either the keystore used to configure HTTPS for the Code Insight Core Server or another keystore. Substantial user input is required to configure the SP metadata and related components for the keystore. See Custom Method for Generating Service Provider Metadata for details.
