I am using saml plugin for sso in Jenkins. I have added the IDP metadata file provided by my company security team.

Now there is a sp metadata file which is being generated when clicked it (Present at the bottom of the plugin)  I need to send this metadata file to the security team, and once they update it in their server, authentication works.

But the main problem is whenever I restart Jenkins service the metadata file contents are updated with new certificate details and due to which I am not able to authenticate. I am confused why it is updating it every time.

I am new to saml integration. Any help is appreciated.
