how to add new Identity Provider into Java Web application by taking required attributes from User at runtime without restarting the server or application.

Answer 1

You can manipulate the MetadataManager to dynamically add new IdPs or remove existings IdPs.

yourMetadataManagerBean.removeMetadataProvider(MetadataProvider provider)
yourMetadataManagerBean.addMetadataPRovider(MetadataProvider newProvider)

Then do not forget to refresh the context by calling

yourMetadataManagerBean.setRefreshRequired(true);
yourMetadataManagerBean.refreshMetadata();
