SAML Metadata Viewer

Parse SAML IdP and SP metadata with endpoints, certificates, and validation.

What is SAML Metadata Viewer?

SAML metadata XML describes entity IDs, endpoints, bindings, and certificates for IdPs and SPs. A metadata viewer makes those fields readable for federation setup.

How it works

Paste metadata XML. PacketWizard parses entity descriptors and highlights endpoints and certificate material used during trust setup.

Common issues

  • Expired signing certificates in metadata

    IdPs rotate signing certs. Update SP trust stores when metadata certs change or SSO signature validation will fail.

Frequently asked questions

How often should I refresh IdP metadata?

Follow your IdP’s guidance — many teams refresh on cert rollover or periodically from a metadata URL.
