InlineMetadataProvider

The InlineMetadataProvider allows the static specification of SAML2 Metadata inside the Metadata provider.

Schema Names and location

The <MetadataProvider> element and the type InlineMetadataProvider are defined by the urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:metadata schema, which can be located at http://shibboleth.net/schema/idp/shibboleth-metadata.xsd.

The SAML Metadata is defined by the urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata schema which can be located at http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/v2.0/saml-schema-metadata-2.0.xsd.

Attributes

Any of the common attributes can be specified.

Child Elements

Any of the following child elements may be specified (in order).

Name	Cardinality	Description
`<MetadataFilter>`	0 or more	A metadata filter applied to candidate metadata as it flows through the metadata pipeline
`<md:EntityDescriptor>`	0 or 1	Specifies the metadata for a single SAML entity
`<md:EntitiesDescriptor>`	0 or 1	Specifies the metadata for two or more SAML entities

The <MetadataFilter> child element is common to all metadata providers. The remaining child elements are exclusive to the InlineMetadataProvider type.

Exactly one of the <md:EntityDescriptor> or <md:EntitiesDescriptor> child elements is required. If neither is configured, an error will occur. See the SAML 2.0 Metadata specification for more information about these elements.
