This guide describes how to publish SAML metadata in Lösning för federerad åtkomst till Klassa.
This guide is for non-municipal organizations access to Klassa. If you represent a Swedish municipality (kommun), please use this guide instead: Technical Metadata Connection Guide (Fedkom) |
Choose the section that matches the entity you want to upload:
The organization must have signed the membership agreement for federated access to Klassa.
Only entities correctly processed according to this guide are included in the Klassa metadata feed.
To be included in the Klassa metadata feed, an entity attribute must be included in metadata. For information about the entity attribute, see the Klassa federation policy.
A metadata validator for Klassa is available here: https://validator.openfed.se/fedkom. Use it to check that your SAML metadata conforms to the technical profile and federation policy before submitting or publishing it.
Note that metadata opting-in via Skolfederation or Sambi need to follow the Fedkom/Klassa technical profile and policy to be accepted. If you intend to opt-in via one of these federations, please use the validator above as well. |
