A metadata file in XML format is required to establish the agreement between the IdP and the Service Provider. In this case, CA Performance Center and all registered data sources that support SAML 2.0 require this agreement. The metadata file describes the IdP and contains information about the profiles it supports. This file also contains data about the services that it requires from the Service Provider.
Single Sign-On can import this file to set up the relationship with the IdP.
Some types of IdP, such as CA SiteMinder, provide utilities to help you create these files and export them. Or they create the agreement automatically, based on the parameters you set.
Consult the documentation for your IdP to perform this task.
