Obtain SAML Federation Metadata from AD FS

Complete the following steps to retrieve the AD FS federation metadata:

If there is any change in your AD FS settings, you must re-generate the metadata file and submit the new metadata file to Zuora. Wait for a notification from Zuora before allowing your users to log in to Zuora via SSO.
