FilesystemMetadataProviderExample

Load entity metadata from a file
<!--
    Load (and reload) entity metadata from a local file.

    The metadata refresh process is determined by the configured values of the 
    minRefreshDelay attribute (default: PT30S) and maxRefreshDelay attribute 
    (default: PT4H). If you want to load (or reload) the metadata immediately, 
    restart the IdP.
