Retrieve SP metadata

Request

Returns the SAML 2.0 metadata for the service provider.

Use this metadata when configuring the service provider in your identity provider. It includes the information required by the identity provider, such as the service provider entity ID, Assertion Consumer Service endpoint, supported bindings, and signing certificate information where applicable.

The response is an XML document conforming to the SAML 2.0 Metadata specification.

Where supported, we recommend configuring your identity provider using this metadata rather than entering SAML settings manually.
