SchemaValidationFilter
Namespace: urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:metadata
Schema: http://shibboleth.net/schema/idp/shibboleth-metadata.xsd
Overview
The SchemaValidation
filter allows the validation of the provided metadata against an XML schema. Note that while schema validation can catch a variety of errors in metadata, it is not sufficient to prevent all possible sources of error because XSD isn't expressive enough in practice to describe all the requirements of the standard. Metadata sources should be limited to trustworthy publishers whether this filter is used or not.
