This User Guide uses a metadata XML file to assist in configuring many settings in the SP Connection. When asked during the Connection configuration steps, import the saml-metadata.xml built in the following steps.
  1. Copy the folowing sample metadata into a text editor of your choice. 
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
     <md:EntityDescriptor
      xmlns:md="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata"
    
      entityID="https://sso.heroku.com/saml/ORGANIZATION_NAME" cacheDuration="PT1440M"
    
      ID="nYtE3pu8fofN4a5Z_ST5F8jDObh">
       <md:SPSSODescriptor
      AuthnRequestsSigned="false"  WantAssertionsSigned="true"
      protocolSupportEnumeration="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol">
    
      <md:NameIDFormat>urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress</md:NameIDFormat>
       <md:AssertionConsumerService
      isDefault="true"
    
      Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP-POST"
    
      Location="https://sso.heroku.com/saml/ORGANIZATION_NAME/finalize"
        index="0" />
      </md:SPSSODescriptor>
    
    </md:EntityDescriptor>
  2. Replace the instances of ORGANIZATION_NAME with the organization name for the Heroku account:.

    For example, if the URL you use to access your Heroku team account is:

    https://dashboard.heroku.com/orgs/myOrgName/settings

    then your ORGANIZATION_NAME is myOrgName.

  3. Once you have updated the file, save your changes (i.e., saml-metadata.xml).
