Hello,  
I have a question, I’m trying to connect Cloudstack to Keycloak via saml, unfortunately my descriptor is in MarkDown format, not xml:

/auth/realms/MCB/protocol/saml/descriptor

\<md:EntitiesDescriptor Name=“urn:keycloak”\>  
\<md:EntityDescriptor entityID="…\>  
\<md:IDPSSODescriptor WantAuthnRequestsSigned=“true” protocolSupportEnumeration=“urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:protocol”\>  
…  
\</md:IDPSSODescriptor\>  
\</md:EntityDescriptor\>  
\</md:EntitiesDescriptor\>

What can I do to display correctly in XML?

Best regards,  
Piotr

That’s is not a Markdown format. Actually, that is XML format, which is using `md` (metadata) namespace:

```auto
xmlns:md="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata"

```

I guess you can see also `ds` namespace:

```auto
xmlns:ds="http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#"

```
