14.5.10.1. Introduction
It is possible to use different Configuration Providers at the IDP and SP. The configuration providers will then be the sole configuration leaders (instead of picketlink.xml) or provide additional configuration.
PicketLink SAML Metadata Support is provided and configured by the following configuration providers implementations:
