Manage Identity Providers

📘

Rackspace recommends that you use the Control Panel to mange Identity Providers, but advanced users might choose to use the Identity API instead.

To use the API to create and manage your Identity Providers, see the Identity Providers section of the Identity API Reference.

Basic tasks

Manage your Identity Providers by using the Rackspace Control Panel at https://manage.rackspace.com/users. You can take actions to manage your Identity Provider through either the list of Identity Providers on the Identity Federation page, or through the Actions menu on the details page for any Identity Provider.

Update metadata and certificates

To update key details about your Identity Provider, click Update Metadata in the Control Panel. The following items are extracted and updated from your metadata:

• the security certificate
• the issuer value

Updating your metadata does not change the Login Domain or Description that you have provided.

Update the Attribute Mapping Policy

To update the Attribute Mapping Policy for your Identity Provider, upload a new YAML file by using the Update Policy File link in the Identity Provider details page.

The file must be valid YAML, and the file extension should be .yml or .yaml. To validate your YAML, you can use any YAML validation library or website.
