Task 8: Download the IdM metadata

Search for	Example	Results
A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Search for	Operator	Example
Two or more words in the same topic	`AND` `and` `+` (plus symbol) `&` (ampersand)	`cat AND dog` `"cat food"+milk` `"cat food"&"dog food"`
Either word in a topic	`OR` `or` `\|` (pipe)	`cat OR dog` `cat \| dog`
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase	`NOT` `not` `!` (exclamation point)	`NOT cat` `! dog`
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another	`^` (caret)	`cat ^ mouse`
A combination of search types	`( )` parentheses	`cat + (dog \| mouse)` `cat \| dog + (! mouse)`

After the IdM server is started, the IdM metadata is generated and can be downloaded from the IdM service URL.

To download the IdM metadata, follow these steps:

Open the <idm-service>\WEB-INF\web.xml file in a text editor.

Comment out the following servlet.

<servlet>
     <servlet-name>default</servlet-name>
     <servlet-class>org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.DefaultServlet</servlet-class>
     <init-param>
        <param-name>dirAllowed</param-name>
        <param-value>false</param-value>
     </init-param>
     <load-on-startup>0</load-on-startup>
</servlet>

Start the IdM service web application server. In this example, start Tomcat.

Open the IdM service URL in a browser:

https://<IdM host FQDN>:<https port>/idm-service/saml/metadata

For example: https://myhost.mycompany.net:9443/idm-service/saml/metadata

If the IdM service deployment is successful, the IdM metadata is displayed correctly, as shown in the following figure.
