Download the XML metadata from the Identity Provider:
Download the metadata in XML format that contains the service descriptor information of Remote Identity Provider (R-IDP) from the R-IDP server or using a valid HTTP URL that R-IDP provides.
For example, if OpenAM is configured as the R-IDP, download the metadata from https://my-openam.ca.avaya.com/opensso/saml2/jsp/exportmetadata.jsp.
Save the data in an XML file on the file system or save the URL that points to the metadata.
Setup SSL trust between R-IDP and System Manager for successful communication of SAML messages using the following steps:
On System Manager Web Console, click Services > Inventory.
In the left navigation pane, click Manage Elements and add the CA certificate of R-IDP Web server certificate to System Manager truststore using the instructions outlined in Adding trusted certificates.
Add Remote Identity Provider:
Click Save.
On successful configuration of R-IDP, the system automatically enables the SAML authentication. An administrator can disable or enable the SAML authentication using the Provision SAML Remote Identity Provider check box.
