Once the application is registered, the metadata of the Service Provider is exposed in the endpoint http://idm-host/idm/applications/application-id/saml2/metadata. This metadata file is needed for registering the Service Provider in the eIDAS node.

Note: It is very important to register the Service Provider in the eIDAS node following the specific instructions of the node owner. This instructions depends on the Member State where the node is deployed. Testing nodes can be deployed following the instructions provided by the EC.
