SP Metadata

SP metadata refers to the detailed information about a Service Provider (SP) in a security or identity management system, such as a Single Sign-On (SSO) setup. It includes essential details like URLs, certificates, and supported protocols that enable the identity provider (IdP) to recognize and securely communicate with the SP. This metadata ensures that both parties trust each other, allowing users to log in seamlessly across different systems without having to create multiple accounts. Essentially, SP metadata acts as a digital handshake, establishing a trusted connection for secure data exchange and authentication.
