MetadataProviderDynamicAttributes

The following attributes are common to all dynamic metadata providers (i.e., DynamicHTTPMetadataProvider and LocalDynamicMetadataProvider):

Name	Type	Default	Description

Name	Type	Default	Description
parserPoolRef	Bean ID	shibboleth.ParserPool	Identifies a Spring bean for the XML parser used to parse metadata. Generally should not be changed.
taskTimerRef	Bean ID		Identifies a Spring bean containing a Java `TaskTimer` used to schedule reloads. When not set, an internal timer is created. Generally should not be changed.
refreshDelayFactor	Real Number (strictly between 0.0 and 1.0)	0.75	A factor applied to the initially determined refresh time in order to determine the next refresh time (typically to ensure refresh takes place prior to the metadata's expiration). Attempts to refresh metadata will generally begin around the product of this number and the maximum refresh delay.
minCacheDuration	Duration	PT10M	The minimum duration for which metadata will be cached before it is refreshed
maxCacheDuration	Duration	PT8H	The maximum duration for which metadata will be cached before it is refreshed
maxIdleEntityData	Duration	PT8H	The maximum duration for which metadata will be allowed to be idle (no requests for it) before it is removed from the cache
removeIdleEntityData	Boolean	true	Flag indicating whether idle metadata should be removed
cleanupTaskInterval	Duration	PT30M	The interval at which the internal cleanup task should run. This task performs background maintenance tasks, such as the removal of expired and idle metadata.
persistentCacheManagerRef	Bean ID		The optional manager for the persistent cache store for resolved metadata. On metadata provider initialization, data present in the persistent cache will be loaded to memory, effectively restoring the state of the provider as closely as possible to that which existed before the previous shutdown. Each individual cache entry will only be loaded if 1) the entry is still valid as determined by the internal provider logic, and 2) the entry passes the (optional) predicate supplied via `initializationFromCachePredicateRef`.
persistentCacheManagerDirectory	Directory path		The directory used for an internally-constructed filesystem-based persistent cache. This is a convenience parameter to avoid specifying a full bean via `persistentCacheManagerRef`. This option will be ignored if `persistentCacheManagerRef` is specified. NOTE: Do NOT specify a directory containing other metadata or any other content under local control, as the cache manager may alter those files, or fail to process them correctly, or both. Use a dedicated directory for each provider.
persistentCacheKeyGeneratorRef	Bean ID	internal default instance	Identifies a Spring bean for a `Function` which generates the string key used with the cache manager. The default implementation produces the lower-case hex-encoded SHA-1 digest of the entityID of the `EntityDescriptor`.
initializeFromPersistentCacheInBackground	Boolean	true	Flag indicating whether should initialize from the persistent cache in the background. Initializing from the cache in the background will improve IdP startup times.
backgroundInitializationFromCacheDelay	Duration	PT2S	The delay after which to schedule the background initialization from the persistent cache when `initializeFromPersistentCacheInBackground=true`.
initializationFromCachePredicateRef	Bean ID	"always true" predicate	Identifies a Spring bean for an optional `Predicate` which determines whether a given entity should be loaded from the persistent cache at resolver initialization time.
