Custom STS Metadata File Editor

Custom STS Metadata File Editor is an easy-to-use tool that gives you the possibility to edit federation metadata for Security Token Services (STS). This focuses on contact details, claims, active and passive endpoints, along with certificates.

The program's not wrapped in a setup kit, so you can drop the downloaded files in a custom location on the HDD and simply click the .exe to launch Custom STS Metadata File Editor. Another option is to keep it stored on a removable storage device, in order to run it on any PC.

Just keep in mind that you must have .NET Framework installed. It doesn't add new entries to the Windows registry or create other files on the hard drive without asking for your confirmation.

The interface is user-friendly, made from a large window with a standard .NET Framework form that doesn't put emphasis on graphical elements, yet it's quite easy to navigate.

After indicating the metadata file's location via the file browser, you can enter the service name and edit contact information when it comes to the person's name, surname, company, type, email address and phone number, along with organization name, display name and URL.

Claims can be displayed for any selected type. Moreover, it's possible to modify the active and passive endpoint links, as well as to customize certificate data. For instance, you can set the selected STS signing certificate, current and original thumbprint, together with copied thumbprint details. All metadata can be saved with one click.

We haven't encountered any stability issues in our tests, thanks to the fact that the utility didn't freeze, crash or prompt errors. It used a low amount of CPU and RAM. No recent updates have been made, unfortunately. Nevertheless, you can test Custom STS Metadata File Editor for yourself.
