MDQUERY(1)
NAME
mdquery - Query Shibboleth metadata
SYNOPSIS
mdquery -e entity [-a app] [-nostrict] mdquery -e entity -r role -p protocol [-a app] [-ns namespace] [-nostrict]
DESCRIPTION
mdquery queries and displays Shibboleth SP metadata. It is primarily a
debugging tool to use in conjunction with advice from the Shibboleth
mantaininers. It can display either the metadata for an entity or the
metadata for a particular role.
OPTIONS
- -a app
- Specifies the application ID for which to retrieve metadata. If
not given the default is "default". - -e entity
- Specifies the entity ID for which to show metadata. Normally this is the entity descriptor ID for an entity with which one is having a problem (such as the entity ID for the local SP).
- -nostrict
- Relax the strictness of checking (such as of expiration dates).
- -ns namespace
- When retrieving metadata for a particular role, specify the
namespace. If not given, the default is the SAML20MD namespace. - -p protocol
- Specify a protocol when retrieving metadata for a particular role.
Normally one would use the -saml10, -saml11, or -saml2 options to
specify the protocol name, but this option allows an arbitrary
protocol to be specified. - -saml10
- Specify a protocol of SAML 1.0.
- -saml11
- Specify a protocol of SAML 1.1.
- -saml2
- Specify a protocol of SAML 2.0.
- -r role
- Retrieve the metadata for a particular role. Normally one would
use the -idp, -aa, -pdp, or -sp options to specify the role name, but this option allows an arbitrary role to be specified. - -idp
- Specify a role of IDPSSODescriptor.
- -aa Specify a role of AttributeAuthorityDescriptor.
- -pdp
- Specify a role of PDPDescriptor.
- -sp Specify a role of SPSSODescriptor.
