MDQUERY

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.
