The <Library> element specifies an extension library to load at runtime.
Extensions are dynamic/shared libraries (DLLs) with special exported functions to allow them to be loaded by the SP. Extensions can be loaded in-process (in the web server), out-of-process (in shibd), or both, but are normally designed to used in one context or the other.
Common Attributes
Name | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
path | local pathname |  | Specifies the path to the library to load. |
fatal | boolean | false | If true, a failure to load the library will fatally terminate the overall initialization of the relevant part of the SP. |
Extension Content
The schema permits arbitrary child elements and attributes to be present, allowing extension libraries to include their own configuration material if they need to.
