The Shibboleth IdP V3 software has reached its End of Life and is no longer supported. This documentation is available for historical purposes only. See the IDP4 wiki space for current documentation on the supported version.
ChainingFilter
This configuration feature is DEPRECATED and should not be used. It will be removed from V4.0 and prevent a seamless upgrade to that version.
A filter of type ChainingFilter allows multiple child filters to be used in sequence.
This filter type is purely for legacy compatibility and should not be used any longer. A <MetadataProvider> element containing multuple <MetadataFilter> child elements will automatically wrap them in a chain without reference to this type.
Schema
The <MetadataFilter> element and the type ChainingFilter are defined by the urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:metadata schema, which can be found at http://shibboleth.net/schema/idp/shibboleth-metadata.xsd
Attributes
No attributes may be specified
Child Elements
Any number of <MetadataFilter> child elements may be specified. They will be processed in the order in which they are encountered.
