[JIRA] Commented: (SSPCPP-445) RequestInitiator metadata generated in a case where it shouldn't be

[Scott Cantor (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/SSPCPP-445?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14031#comment-14031 ] 

Scott Cantor commented on SSPCPP-445:
-------------------------------------

I'm not sure, but I think the issue here is something else. That error doesn't mean the handler isn't in place, it should mean that it didn't successfully run. That would be true in that case if entityID were set, since it would dispatch to the WAYF otherwise.

But in terms of metadata, all it knows is that there's a SessionInitiator there, and there is, so I think that's correct.

> If you have a bare "WAYF" type SessionInitiator in shibboleth2.xml as follows:
>    <SessionInitiator id="foo" Location="/foo" acsIndex="5"
>       URL="...whatever..."/>
> Then the automatically generated metadata will include something like this:
>    <init:RequestInitiator xmlns:init="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:profiles:SSO:request-init"
>       Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:profiles:SSO:request-init"
>       Location="https://sh2testsp1.iay.org.uk/Shibboleth.sso/foo"/>
> However, actually sending a session initiation message to that location results in a configuration error:
> shibsp::ConfigurationException at (https://sh2testsp1.iay.org.uk/Shibboleth.sso/foo)
> Configured Shibboleth handler failed to process the request.
> It would be better only to generate endpoints with that binding if the configured session initiator supported it.
