3 mdquery - Query Shibboleth metadata
7 B<mdquery> B<-e> I<entity> [B<-a> I<app>] [B<-nostrict>]
9 B<mdquery> B<-e> I<entity> B<-r> I<role> B<-p> I<protocol> [B<-a> I<app>]
10 [B<-ns> I<namespace>] [B<-nostrict>]
14 B<mdquery> queries and displays Shibboleth SP metadata. It is primarily a
15 debugging tool to use in conjunction with advice from the Shibboleth
16 mantaininers. It can display either the metadata for an entity or the
17 metadata for a particular role.
25 Specifies the application ID for which to retrieve metadata. If not given
26 the default is C<default>.
30 Specifies the entity ID for which to show metadata. Normally this is the
31 entity descriptor ID for an entity with which one is having a problem
32 (such as the entity ID for the local SP).
36 Relax the strictness of checking (such as of expiration dates).
38 =item B<-ns> I<namespace>
40 When retrieving metadata for a particular role, specify the namespace. If
41 not given, the default is the SAML20MD namespace.
43 =item B<-p> I<protocol>
45 Specify a protocol when retrieving metadata for a particular role.
46 Normally one would use the B<-saml10>, B<-saml11>, or B<-saml2> options to
47 specify the protocol name, but this option allows an arbitrary protocol to
52 Specify a protocol of SAML 1.0.
56 Specify a protocol of SAML 1.1.
60 Specify a protocol of SAML 2.0.
64 Retrieve the metadata for a particular role. Normally one would use the
65 B<-idp>, B<-aa>, B<-pdp>, or B<-sp> options to specify the role name, but
66 this option allows an arbitrary role to be specified.
70 Specify a role of IDPSSODescriptor.
74 Specify a role of AttributeAuthorityDescriptor.
78 Specify a role of PDPDescriptor.
82 Specify a role of SPSSODescriptor.
