This service reloads a specific <MetadataProvider> plugin via the id specified in the MetadataConfiguration.

<MetadataProvider id="nameUsedbelow" xsi:type="Whatever" .... >

The underlying web interface, which is managed as an AdministrativeConfiguration, looks like this:

http[s]://localhost/idp/profile/admin/reload-metadata?id=nameSpecifiedAbove

The same thing on the command line would be:

$ /opt/shibboleth-idp/bin/reload-metadata.sh -id nameSpecifiedAbove

The parameters supported and their corresponding command line options are:

Query String

Command Line

Cardinality

Description

id
--provider, -id

The identifiers of the resolvers are also listed by the status and metrics administrative flows.
