Configuration Checklist at the Identity Provider

Identifying a Service Provider to an Identity Provider is a task you complete at the SAML 2.0 Identity Provider because the Identity Provider needs information about the Service Provider to generate an assertion for that entity. Therefore, you identify the Service Provider to the Identity Provider and define how the two entities will communicate to pass assertions and to satisfy profiles, such as Web single sign-on or single logout.
