- 3.1 MDQ Metadata Source

Overview

Indicated by type="MDQ", this MetadataProvider loads metadata on-demand from an HTTP server using the conventions defined by the Metadata Query Protocol draft specification (see base protocol, SAML profile). This is essentially the same as the Dynamic MetadataProvider with a slightly simpler configuration syntax to automatically generate the appropriate URL substitutions.

The baseUrl XML attribute is also required, to point to the root of the MDQ server.

Reference

The type="MDQ" attribute must be present.

The following attribute MUST be present:

Name	Type	Req?	Description

Name	Type	Req?	Description
baseUrl	string	Y	Specifies the MDQ "base" URL of the metadata query service

Example

MDQ Metadata Source

<MetadataProvider type="MDQ" id="mdq.example.org" ignoreTransport="true" cacheDirectory="mdq-example-org"
		baseUrl="http://mdq.example.org/global/">
    <MetadataFilter type="Signature" certificate="metadata-signing-key.pem"/>
    <MetadataFilter type="RequireValidUntil" maxValidityInterval="8640000"/>
</MetadataProvider>
