# Metadata
Publicly available service provider (SP)metadata for Nebraska identity providers (IdP's).
+
+In order to validate XSD your VS Code settings.json file needs to include:
+
+```json
+"xml.fileAssociations": [
+ {
+ "pattern": "nefed.xml",
+ "systemId": "docs.oasis-open.org_security_saml_v2.0_saml-schema-metadata-2.0.xsd"
+ }
+ ],
+```
+
+assuming you have the RedHat XML extension (which you should).
