Metadata Generation

Service Provider Metadata

• All customers using the Shibboleth module will require metadata generated form the Application installed in their SSO
• If Shibboleth is configured and running the Metadata will be generated by the application
• Shibboleth 2
  Metadata is usually generated at the following URLS:
  1. https://<customer_url>/Shibboleth.sso/Metadata
  2. https://<customer_test_url>/Shibboleth.sso/Metadata
• Shibboleth 3 (the metadata handler is deprecated)
  • an error suggest usage  of shib-metagen
  • https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jammy/man1/shib-metagen.1.html
  • The utility does not generate the full metadata like the handler does
  • So the handler should still be used for now, but commented out after generating the metadata to remove the deprecation error
• After downloading the metadata, open up the file, review the data, and remove the leading comment about not sending out the data un-auditted before sending it to the customer
