The ID given to the Identity Provider as the trusted ID. This ID is also used as the expected certificate alias of the Identity Provider's certificate within the default trusted certificates key store.

Select the type of protocol method for the Identity Provider.

HTTP POST - Posts a form that contains the message body.
HTTP Redirect - Sends the message body as query parameters.

When the HTTP POST binding is selected, you must enter the URL used to post authentication requests to.

When the HTTP Redirect binding is selected, you must enter the URL used to send the message body as query parameters.

If the Identity Provider and Managed File Transfer system time are not in sync, you can specify a time offset which will be applied to the assertion's time window (in seconds). This is sometimes necessary when the Identity Provider is not within the same network as Managed File Transfer and you cannot control the servers time.

Managed File Transfer can import the Identity Provider settings, including the Identity Provider certificate, from a SAML Metadata XML file.

Click the Choose File button and browse to the Metadata file.
If the Metadata file contains a certificate, it will be added to the Default Trusted Certificates Key Store using the entity ID as the certificate alias. If the certificates already exists, you can choose Replace Certificate If Exists to overwrite the existing certificate.
Click the Import Metadata button to parse the Metadata file and populate the Identity Provider settings.
