SimpleSamlPHP - Generating SP metadata

3
votes

I am using SimpleSamlPHP library to implement SAML 2.0 SSO for my client. My client has already shared their IdP metadata and I have implemented that on my end. Now they need (off course) the SP metadata from me.

SimpleSamlPHP provides a very user friendly converter (find the converter in simplesamlphp/www/admin/metadata-converter.php) that you can use to convert the IdP metadata XML into metadata (PHP) array that you would use in saml20-idp-remote configuration.

I am looking for a similar utility that would take details about my assertion url, single logout url etc and would generate the SP metadata file for my client. If there is no such utility, can someone please give me a hint on how can I go about generating the SP metadata for my client. I off course don't expect anyone to give me the full solution, just a push in the right direction is all I need.

Thanks all.

UPDATE: I am looking for the standard XML attributes that the SP metadata XML should have.

Hello, may I know how you were able to access your metadata-converter or admin console? I installed this in Codeigniter and can't seem to create a route to it. – JianYA

SP metadata is available in web console of SimpleSAMLphp (Federation tab -> Show metadata):

https://your_server/path_to_simplesamlphp/www/

or directly via URL:
