I am currently attempting to configure Keycloak with WorkOS. In my local instance, going to ‘Realm Settings’ → ‘Endpoints’ → ‘SAML 2.0 Identity Provider Metadata’, opens the metadata with a localhost address rather than a usable link for production.

Is there any way to get a legitimate URL I can provide WorkOS? Thank you!

You have to get the metadata URL from the server you will be using in production. WorkOS will fetch that URL to get a certificate and information formats, which is unique to each server, not reusable between servers.
