When first starting out, the IdP generates an initial metadata file during the installation process and copies it to metadata/idp-metadata.xml. It will contain the entityID and credentials generated by the installation process. You should modify it as needed if and when you make configuration changes Whether that file is ever used is a very deployment-dependent question because it depends on whether you are participating in a "federation" or not, and how that federation handles the collection of metadata from the participants. As a general rule, it's a good idea to have an accurate metadata file available that describes your deployment accurately. You should take the time to understand the metadata structure and content, and change or add to it as required as you make changes to your system. |
