SAML: External IdP or Application?
⚙️Configuration🏬Self-hosted🪵Login❓Question✅Solved
Hello, I need to integrate with our national strong authentication method, but I am confused about how to do this with Zitadel.It seems like Zitadel has two paths: either configure it as External IdP or I have to make a SAML Application in project settings.
Since I need to generate a custom metadata that I need to then provide for them, it seems that my only option is to create a SAML Application, because SAML external IdP configuration does not let me provide my own metadata (it only lets me input the metadata of the external IdP, right?).
But until now, I have always communicated with Zitadel using the OIDC endpoints.. It sounds like now I'd also have to implement SAML communication between my server and Zitadel
For context, here's the documentation on integrating with the national ID system:

Here's the documentation about the metadata I need to provide:

Thank you very in advance for any clarification you might give me
