How to create/import and delete in bulk SAML2 identity and service providers with the sync-metadata script?
===========================================================================================================
This section explains hot to use the script sync-metadata.
Presentation
============
This script allows to create/import and deleted in bulk SAML2 identity and
service providers using standard SAML2 metadata files containing entity
descriptors.
An example of such a file used in production is the global metadata file of
the identity federation of French universities that can be found at http://...
Use the following command::
path_to_project/authentic2$ python manage.py sync-metadata file_name [options]
Options
=======
* idp
Load only identity providers of the metadata file.
* sp
Load only service providers of the metadata file.
* source
Used to tag all imported providers with a label. This option is used to
metadata reloading and deletion in bulk.
Reloading a metadata file, when a provider with same entity is found, it is
updated. If a provider in the metadata file does not exist it is created.
If a provider exists in the system but not in the metadata file, it is
removed.
**For reloading, a source can only be associated with a unique metadata
file. This is due to the fact that all providers of a source not found in
the metadata file are removed.**
::
path_to_project/authentic2$ python manage.py sync-metadata file_name --source=french_federation
* sp-policy
To configure the SAML2 parameters of service providers imported with the
script, a policy of type SPOptionsIdPPolicy must be created in the
the administration interface.
Either it is a global policy 'Default' or 'All' or it is a regular policy.
If it is a regular policy, the policy name can be specified in parameter
of the script with this option.
The policy is then associated to all service providers created.
::
path_to_project/authentic2$ python manage.py sync-metadata file_name --sp-policy=sp_policy_name
* idp-policy
To configure the SAML2 parameters of identity providers imported with the
script, a policy of type IdPOptionsSPPolicy must be created in the
the administration interface.
Either it is a global policy 'Default' or 'All' or it is a regular policy.
If it is a regular policy, the policy name can be specified in parameter
of the script with this option.
The policy is then associated to all service providers created.
::
path_to_project/authentic2$ python manage.py sync-metadata file_name --idp-policy=idp_policy_name
* delete
With no options, all providers are deleted.
With the source option, only providers with the source name given are deleted.
**This option can not be combined with options idp and sp.**
* ignore-errors
If loading of one EntityDescriptor fails, continue loading
