OWSM: Setting up SAML token verification with Novell Access manager

Question

Hello,
We are trying to set-up communication between an OWSM gateway and a Novell Accces Manager to do the following:
All requests to our services should be secured using Web Services Security SAML Token Profile 1.0. OWSM will validate this token using the SAML – Verify WSS 1.0 Token step. The assertion will be issued by a Novell Access Manager. Are we right that OWSM needs to communicate with the Novell Access Manager for this? In that case Novell requires us to deliver metadata to establish a trust relation between the Identity Provider (Novell) and the Service Provider (OWSM). This metadata should look something like this:
odysseus:/var/opt/novell/tomcat4/webapps/nidp # cat application.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE application PUBLIC '-//Sun Microsystems, Inc.//DTD J2EE Application 1.2//EN' 'http://java.sun.com/j2ee/dtds/application_1_2.dtd'>
<application>
<display-name>NIDPJ2EEApp</display-name>
<description>Novell Identity Provider</description>
<module>
<web>
<web-uri>nidp.war</web-uri>
<context-root>nidp</context-root>
</web>
</module>
</application>
However I cannot find anything on this in the OWSM documentation.

To answer my own question. We found 4 application.xml files which seem to contain the metadata in the folders ccore, coreman, gateway and policymanager of $AS_HOME/owsm/config/.
