I am trying to configure Conditional Access App Control for our Shrarepoint Online tenant, but I am unable to find the SAML federation metadata.

According to Microsoft I should be able to get it from this link (https://nexus.microsoftonline-p.com/federationmetadata/saml20/federationmetadata.xml). But when I go to that address, I get page with "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below." at the top of the page. Followed by what looks like XML script.

Does anyone know of an alternate location to pull it from. Or alternately, why I might be getting this error?

    NVM, the link is working. You just have to right click on it and select "Save As...".

    By the way, since the Microsoft Q&A community has a policy that "The question author cannot accept their own answer. They can only accept answers by others.". So, I would make a brief summary of this thread:
