How to Download SP Metadata File in Jira Server

[SVPC Aravind]

Hello,

I’m using Jira Server and need to download the SP metadata XML file for SSO configuration. While I can see the ACS (Assertion Consumer Service) URL and Entity ID in Jira, I’m unable to find a way to download the SP metadata as an XML file.

Could someone guide me on how to obtain the XML metadata file, or if there's a specific method to generate or download it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Hey @SVPC Aravind 

Jira Server does not automatically generate an SP metadata XML file. You will need to create it manually using the ACS URL and Entity ID that you already have. You can use these steps: 

• Edit the Metadata XML: Replace YOUR_ENTITY_ID with your Jira instance's Entity ID and YOUR_ACS_URL with your ACS URL.

• Save the Metadata XML: Save this content as an XML file, for example, jira-sp-metadata.xml.

• Upload or Provide the Metadata File: You can now upload this file to your Identity Provider (IdP) or provide it as needed for your SSO configuration.

If you are looking for an automated and easy way to generate this metadata, consider using add-ons available in the Atlassian Marketplace. For instance, you can try this one: mO Jira SAML SSO (Single Sign On), Jira SSO + User Sync/SC

I hope this helps!
