AWS CLI

To update the metadata document for an existing SAML provider

This example updates the SAML provider in IAM whose ARN is arn:aws:iam::123456789012:saml-provider/SAMLADFS with a new SAML metadata document from the file SAMLMetaData.xml.

aws iam update-saml-provider \
    --saml-metadata-document file://SAMLMetaData.xml \
    --saml-provider-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:saml-provider/SAMLADFS
