MetadataExample

May 19, 2008

This example metadata is useful for making your own federation by hand. You can also just use the hollow <EntitiesDescriptor> and populate it with <EntityDescriptor> elements pulled by accessing the Metadata handler your provider exposes. This supports the default profile of SAML 2.0 and Shibboleth 1.3.
