-    Signing keys of this plugin. Nothing here is active by default: Credentials are signed
-    with the OP's own response signing credentials, the ones in
-    shibboleth.oidc.SigningCredentials, and keeping it that way needs nothing to be done.
-    Uncomment below whichever function you want to give a key of its own.
-
-    Two functions of this plugin sign, and each of them can have its own key:
-
-      Credential signing        this file, openidvci.SigningCredentials
-        Read by a wallet or verifier that has no relation to your deployment, long after
-        issuing. Needs publishing if separated, see "Publishing" below.
-
-      Status List Token signing this file, oauth.statuslist.SigningCredentials
-        Read by the same verifiers. Constrained, see the section below.
-
-    The OP's own response signing credentials, shibboleth.oidc.SigningCredentials in
-    conf/oidc-credentials.xml, are what both fall back to.
-
-    The defaults share one key across these because a plugin cannot generate keys for you.
-    Separating them narrows what rotating or losing a key affects, which is the reason to
-    bother. Generate each one with bin/jwtgen.sh, the same way as the OP's own keys.

-    Import this file into conf/credentials.xml.
-
-    Import it into conf/global.xml instead if you state this deployment in OpenID
-    Federation, see conf/openid-vci-oidfed.xml. Credential signing reads the list either
-    way, publishing it in an Entity Configuration only works from the root context. The two
-    go together: the federation file alone refuses to start without the list.
-
-    Import it in ONE place, not both. The relying party service is a child of the root
-    context and reads beans from it, so everything signing Credentials still finds the list
-    when it is declared in conf/global.xml. Importing this file in both places declares the
-    same bean ids twice, and the child copies shadow the root ones: Credential signing would
-    then use one set of credential objects and the Entity Configuration another. Reloading
-    conf/credentials.xml could move signing to a new key while vc_issuer still states the old
-    one, which is the drift this arrangement exists to prevent.
-
-    The cost of moving the import is reload. conf/credentials.xml belongs to the relying party
-    service, which is reloadable, so a key listed there can be changed without a restart.
-    conf/global.xml is the root context and is not reloadable. Federating therefore makes key
-    changes a restart, which is why the import location is left as credentials.xml by default.

-    A wallet or verifier finds your public key from the key set the OP publishes in its

-    otherwise.
-
-    This matters only if you separated the key above. Publishing it in an OpenID Federation
-    Entity Configuration is one way, see
-    conf/openid-vci-oidfed.xml. Publishing it in the OP's key set is the other: define
-    shibboleth.oidc.SigningCredentialsToPublish in oidc-credentials.xml. That bean REPLACES
-    the published set, it does not add to it, so it must list the OP's own signing
-    credentials too or clients can no longer verify id tokens. The list looks like this:
-
-    <util:list id="shibboleth.oidc.SigningCredentialsToPublish">
-        <ref bean="shibboleth.oidc.DefaultRSSigningCredential" />

-    Note that the same list is also the set of keys trusted when validating JWTs your
-    deployment has issued to itself, logout tokens for example. The Credential signing key
-    becomes trusted there too. Publishing through the federation avoids that, and is why
-    ...ToPublish is the second choice rather than the first.
-
-    Publish the key before you start signing with it. A verifier that fetched the key set
-    earlier may still have the old one cached.

-    This file states in OpenID Federation that this deployment is a Credential Issuer. It
-    should be imported into conf/global.xml.
-
-    IMPORT IT ONLY IF THE OpenID Federation PLUGIN IS INSTALLED. The bean below implements
-    an interface that ships with that plugin, so without it the bean cannot be created and
-    the IdP will not start.
-
-    Nothing here is active by default, importing the file is what turns it on. Once
-    imported, the federation module picks the bean up on its own, there is no list of
-    decorators to add it to. It collects every bean of the decorator type it can see.
-
-    Three entity types are stated:
-
-    openid_credential_issuer
-        The Credential Issuer metadata, the same document /.well-known/openid-credential-issuer
-        serves. It comes from the same resolver, so the two cannot drift apart. A member
-        wanted only in the federation, "authorization_endpoint" for example, is added to
-        static/openid-credential-issuer.json and needs nothing here.
-
-    vc_issuer
-        A JWK Set of the keys Credentials are signed with, public halves only. This is how
-        a verifier finds the key: it reads a Credential long after issuing, and has no
-        relation to this deployment.
-
-        The keys are listed below, and the list has to be here rather than resolved from the
-        request. An entity configuration describes the entity, and the federation module
-        caches one document per deployment, so nothing in it may depend on a relying party.
-
-    federation_entity
-        display_name and logo_uri, taken from the display properties of the Credential
-        Issuer metadata. Only members the federation module's own entity configuration
-        metadata does not already carry are filled. Set decorateFederationEntity to false
-        to state federation_entity entirely in that file instead.
-    -->
-
-    <!--
-    The keys stated in vc_issuer are read from bean "openidvci.SigningCredentials", the same
-    bean the Credential signing configuration reads. One declaration, so what is published
-    is what signs.
-
-    THAT BEAN HAS TO BE DECLARED WHERE THE ROOT CONTEXT READS IT, which means importing
-    conf/openid-vci-credentials.xml into conf/global.xml rather than into conf/credentials.xml.
-    Credential signing lives in the reloadable relying party service, a child of the root
-    context, so it still finds the bean; the other way around does not work, which is why
-    this file cannot simply point at openidvci.SigningConfiguration. The plugin refuses to
-    start if the bean is not there: a Credential Issuer stating no key in a federation is a
-    deployment error, not something to find out from a verifier that cannot read a Credential.
-
-    The plugin's default, sharing the OP's response signing credentials, cannot be read here
-    directly: bean shibboleth.oidc.SigningCredentialsFactory lives in the relying party
-    service. The keys behind it can be, though. They are JWK files named by properties, so
-    declaring the list against the same property keeps one source:
-
-    <util:list id="openidvci.SigningCredentials">
-        <bean parent="shibboleth.JWKCredential" p:resource="%{idp.signing.oidc.es.key}" />
-    </util:list>
-
-    List the EC key only. Credentials are signed with EC algorithms and nothing else, so an
-    RSA key in this list would be stated in vc_issuer as a key that signs Credentials while
-    never signing one. Note also that this pins the key: rotating the OP's key by pointing
-    conf/oidc-credentials.xml at another resource would leave this list behind.
-
-    Preferring a key of your own is still the better answer. A key published in a federation
-    as a Credential signing key should sign Credentials and nothing else, so generate one
-    with bin/jwtgen.sh and enable it in conf/openid-vci-credentials.xml.
