The service provider consults its list of trusted identity providers in metadata before issuing a SAML Request at the next step. If the service provider can not determine if the identity provider in question is trusted, the browser user must not be redirected to the IdP. This is why it is imperative that IdP metadata must be trusted metadata.
The SAML specification defines three roles: the principal (typically a human user), the identity provider (IdP) and the service provider (SP).

In addition to an authentication assertion, a SAML identity provider may also include an attribute assertion in the response.
