What is Federation Metadata Inspector?

Federation metadata documents (commonly used with Microsoft Entra ID and other IdPs) publish endpoints and certificates for WS-Fed/SAML trust relationships.

How it works

Provide metadata content or inspect fetched federation documents to validate entity configuration during SSO onboarding.

Common issues

Stale cached metadata
Applications that cache federation metadata can keep old signing keys. Force refresh after IdP key rollover.

Frequently asked questions

Is federation metadata the same as OpenID discovery?

No. OpenID discovery is JSON for OIDC. Federation metadata is typically XML for SAML/WS-Fed trusts.
