Keycloak – Download SAML 2.0 IdP Metadata

As SAML 2.0 depends on trust, it is necessary to establish this trust by exchanging the metadata of the IdP and SP. When the SAML 2.0 client for Gateway (NPL001) was created, the metadata of the Gateway SP was important to Keycloak. In this step, the metadata of the IdP is exported from Keycloak to be able to import it to Gateway. This concludes the task of establishing a trust between SAP Gateway and Keycloak.

Download Keycloak IdP Metadata

Log on to Keycloak, select the realm and go to Realm Settings.

The SAML 2.0 IdP metadata download link can be found at Endpoints. Click on SAML 2.0 Identity Provider Metadata.

Alternatively, the IdP metadata can be downloaded directly from the descriptor URL.

<keylcoak server>/auth/realms/<REALM>/protocol/saml/descriptor

In my case, the URL to download the metadata is:

http://localhost:8080/auth/realms/SAML/protocol/saml/descriptor

Here you can see a sample metadata file. It is also available on my repo on GitLab.
