Hi.
I installed your SAML package and I can see your example.
There are some sample how to generate metadata and read metadata.
But one thing I don't understand, what if some vendor provides saml metadata, and how can I connect to their server with their metadata?
You guys doesn't have any sample why the metadata is generated.

Would you mind to let me know how can I consume saml metadata from other vendor by using your library?

Thanks

That's correct.
Metadata is a standard way to exchange SAML configuration information between IdPs and SPs.
For example, if you were the SP then you would use the IdP's metadata to configure your system to support SSO with that IdP.
If you'd a web user, you don't need the metadata. You would simply browse to whichever web site.
Feel free to ask any other questions you might have.
You're welcome.
