Generating Metadata with miniOrange

- On the Service Provider Metadata tab scroll down to Metadata XML File
- Click the Download button
Once downloaded the metadata file will need some modifications.
-
Set the NameIDFormat attribute to emailAddress:
<md:NameIDFormat>urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress</md:NameIDFormat>

From the "EntityDescriptor" line, it is also worth removing validUntil and cacheDuration.
