Update SAML Connection by Metadata URL

Update SAML Connection by Metadata URL

PUT
https://test.stytch.com/v1/b2b/sso/saml/{organization_id}/connections/{connection_id}/url

Used to update an existing SAML connection using an IDP metadata URL.

A newly created connection will not become active until all the following are provided:

  • idp_sso_url
  • idp_entity_id
  • x509_certificate
  • attribute_mapping (must be supplied using Update SAML Connection)

RBAC Enforced API

When a Member Session is passed in the Authorization headers, Stytch will enforce that the Member has permission to take the update Action on the stytch.sso Resource prior to honoring the request.

To learn more, see our RBAC guide.
