Introduction

This guide describes how to publish SAML metadata in Federation för kommunal verksamhet (Fedkom).

Choose the section that matches the entity you want to upload:

Prerequisites

The organization must have signed the Fedkom membership agreement.

Only entities correctly processed according to this guide are included in the Fedkom metadata feed.

Mandatory Entity Attribute 

To be included in the Fedkom metadata feed, an entity attribute must be included in metadata. For information about the entity attribute, see the Fedkom federation policy.

You want to upload an Identity Provider (IdP)

Edit your metadata

  • Edit your metadata locally.

  • Ensure it complies with the Internetstiftelsen SAML WebSSO Technical Profile.

  • If it's a new IdP, ensure the entityID is unique.

Choose your publication path

A. Not a member of Skolfederation/Sambi

No access to Federationsadmin.

Action

If compliant, the IdP is published in the FedKom metadata feed.

B. Member of Skolfederation/Sambi – manual submission

Use this path if:

  • You choose not to publish via Federationsadmin, or

  • The IdP does not belong within the scope of Skolfederation or Sambi.

Action

If compliant, the IdP is published in the FedKom metadata feed.

C. Member of Skolfederation/Sambi – Via Federationsadmin

Use this path only if the IdP belongs within the scope of the federation used for aggregation.

Action

  1. Edit the metadata locally.

  2. Add the mandatory FedKom entity attribute (see below).

  3. Log in to Federationsadmin.

  4. Upload the updated metadata.

Publication flow

Federationsadmin → Skolfederation/Sambi → FedKom metadata feed.

Only correctly marked IdPs are included.

You want to upload a Service Provider (SP)

Service Providers (Relying Parties) are published via manual submission only.

Federationsadmin cannot be used to include SPs in FedKom.

Step 1 – Edit your metadata

  • Edit your SP metadata locally.

  • Ensure it complies with the Internetstiftelsen SAML WebSSO Technical Profile.
