## Description

An add-on for Firefox that scrapes and decodes X.509 certificates directly from XML-formatted SAML single sign-on metadata files.

Decoding X.509 certificate data for troubleshooting SAML-based single sign-on connections can be tedious and error-prone, often involving copying and pasting information across multiple web pages. XML SAML Certificate Decoder simplifies this process, allowing you to quickly decode SAML signing certificates embedded within metadata files.

After XML SAML Certificate Decoder has been installed, simply navigate your web-browser to any metadata file URL or file location.

Launch XML SAML Certificate Decoder to locate and decode any X.509 certificates that are available on the current web page or file location.
