   • cat local.properties-template >> local.properties
4. Edit local.properties
   • Comment out (or configure) saml.groupMap entries
   • Set keystorePath to edgesp.p12 (or something else, just substitute that in the generate and import steps)
5. Generate SP metadata
   • java -jar ../bin/sp-saml-tools.jar generate-sp –out=/tmp/Edgecoreteam.xml –properties-file=local.properties –acs-url=http://{your-host-and-port}/–keystore=edgesp.p12 –entity-id=http://{your-host-and-port}/
