The metadata URL is used by a third-party SAML provider to access metadata information about the Hyland IdP server. This address points to a dynamic page on the Hyland IdP server that is specific to the tenant and provider.
The metadata information can also be stored in a static file that is accessed using a UNC path. If you are using a static file to store metadata information from the Hyland IdP server, enter a UNC path to that file instead of the dynamic URL.
Metadata files can only be used with the SAML2 provider type.
To construct a dynamic URL to the metadata page on the Hyland IdP server, use this template, where the elements are described in the following table:
https://[IdP root path]/[tenant name]/[provider name]/metadata
|
URL element |
Description |
|---|---|
|
[IdP root path] |
The root URL of the Hyland IdP server. For example, if the URL of the Hyland IdP server is https://server.domain.com/identityprovider, then the root path is https://server.domain.com/identityprovider Note:
The Hyland IdP server must be configured for secure connections (HTTPS). |
|
[tenant name] |
The unique name of the tenant as configured for the Hyland IdP server. |
|
[provider name] |
The unique name of the provider as configured for the Hyland IdP server. |
For example, if the IdP server address is https://server.domain.com/identityprovider, the tenant name is Company1, and the provider name is InHouseShib, then the metadata URL is:
https://server.domain.com/ identityprovider/ Company1/InHouseShib/metadata
If you are using a static file to store metadata information from the Hyland IdP server, enter a UNC path to that file instead of the dynamic URL.
