Description

New Feature Request

Summary

Problem:
IdP admins cannot see which SAML signing certificates are currently configured for their IdP.

Value:
Managing updated certificated requires lots of interaction with the support that at the moment. Giving the IdP insight in the current config (and maybe allow them to update the config themselves) would help.

Proposed Solution

  • Action:
    Add a screen that shows technische information about an IdP. This should include the SAML signing certificate, both in PEM format and the human-readable metadata (see openssl x509 -noout -text).

  • Design:
    tbd

  • Impact:
    no. New feature.
