I am setting up my site as an identity provider and I need to give the 3rd party service provider (via an xml metadata file) what the "Single Sign-On Service Url" is to receive SAML authn requests. My issue is that this site has multiple environments -- site.dev.com, site.stage.com, and finally site.com for the production site. Is it possible to have all of these paths set up for the same identity provider? Since I am doing SP initiated SSO, maybe the service provider knows the base path?

I'm not sure how the SP would know the base path to your IdP's single sign-on service. If you have three different single sign-on service URLs for your three environments, the SP will have to know the absolute URL of each.

If the environments are physically separate, you would have an entityID for each one. An entityID is just a urn for your IdP. Some examples could be:

site.dev.com entityID = https://site.dev.com/saml/sp
site.stage.com entityID = https://site.stage.com/saml/sp
site.com entityID = https://your.service.url/saml/sp

Each entityID would have its own SAML metadata document and you would give the SP each document. So the SP would know there are 3 IdP and it would know the urls for each one, from their corresponding metadata document.
