In many typical cases, the MDQ plugin may be easier to configure as it automates certain options when using a compliant metadata source. |
Overview
Identified by type="Dynamic", this MetadataProvider loads metadata on-demand from an HTTP server. The precise URL accessed is derived from the entityID of the peer and may be literal (i.e., that entityID) or more commonly constructed based on a simple substitution or transform involving the entityID. It is optimized to be reliable and efficient by caching in-memory and on-disk and by preventing unnecessary re-processing via HTTP caching support.

Additionally, exactly one of the following child elements must be present: Name | Description |
|---|
<Subst> | Simple transform whose element content consists of a string containing the substring "$entityID", into which the entityID value is substituted. If this element contains a hashed attribute, the value must be the OpenSSL algorithm name of a digest algorithm (e.g. SHA1) to apply to the entityID. If the element contains an encoded attribute set to "false", the value will be replaced directly, otherwise it will be URL-encoded first. | <Regex> | Complex transform containing a match attribute containing a regular expression against which the entityID value is applied, and whose element content contains a replacement expression to run based on the results of the match. Only numeric/positional group references (e.g. $1) are supported. |
