# Use `UpdateSamlProvider` with a CLI
`UpdateSamlProvider`

The following code examples show how to use `UpdateSamlProvider`.

------
#### [ CLI ]

**AWS CLI**  
**To update the metadata document for an existing SAML provider**  
This example updates the SAML provider in IAM whose ARN is `arn:aws:iam::123456789012:saml-provider/SAMLADFS` with a new SAML metadata document from the file `SAMLMetaData.xml`.  

```
aws iam update-saml-provider \
    --saml-metadata-document file://SAMLMetaData.xml \
    --saml-provider-arn arn:aws:iam::123456789012:saml-provider/SAMLADFS
```
Output:  

```
{
    "SAMLProviderArn": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:saml-provider/SAMLADFS"
}
```
