<p class="MsoNormal">I&#8217;m trying to switch my SP to a new IdP.&nbsp; Currently, I&#8217;m integrated with a customer&#8217;s ADFS server using Shibboleth, and SAML 2.0 POST binding.&nbsp; I was thinking it would be dead simple to switch over to using ACS, so that I could federate
 with the existing IdP via the ACS console, and add other IdPs as well.&nbsp; However, when look at the metadata XML provided by my ACS namespace, it doesn&#8217;t have an IDPSSODescriptor element so Shibboleth complains.&nbsp; Does that mean that ACS doesn&#8217;t support the SAML
 2.0 protocol?&nbsp; I found an article <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg185948.aspx">
here</a> from 2013 saying that it does support it but it&#8217;s in &#8220;feature preview&#8221;.&nbsp; Any ideas?&nbsp; Can I just modify the XML to include the IDPSSODescriptor element?&nbsp; I&#8217;ve also added an SO question
<a href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21738264/why-doesnt-azure-acs-metadata-contain-spssodescriptor-or-idpssodescriptor-eleme">
