IdP Metadata

IdP Metadata is a digital file or data that provides essential information about an Identity Provider (IdP), which manages user authentication for online services. It includes details like URLs, security keys, and configurations needed for secure communication between the IdP and Service Providers (SPs). This metadata allows different systems to automatically recognize, trust, and connect with each other securely, facilitating seamless single sign-on experiences where users can access multiple services with one login. Essentially, it acts as a blueprint ensuring secure and efficient integration between identity management systems and service providers.
