Overview
Identified by type="LocalDynamic", this MetadataProvider loads metadata on-demand from the local file system using a filename convention based on the SHA-1 hash of the entityID of the IdP.
The sourceDirectory XML attribute is also required, to identify the directory to load from.
The deployer is responsible for populating a directory with metadata files, and this may be done while the SP is in operation. New metadata will be seen automatically the first time it is requested after being added to the directory.
...
Note that it is often unnecessary to apply filters such as signature or validity constraints to a local directory of metadata because it is typically curated by hand, but it is certainly possible to do so.
