<p style='margin-top:0;margin-bottom:10px;'>Note that I first completed bug report #<a href="https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/JOST-220" title="IdP stopping metadata retrieval"><del>JOST-220</del></a>, but it is closed and it is probably a better option to open a new issue here.</p>
<p style='margin-top:0;margin-bottom:10px;'>We are running a 2.4.0 Shibboleth IdP.</p>
<p style='margin-top:0;margin-bottom:10px;'>Yesterday we noticed that our IdP had failed to synchronize our federation metadata. It resulted in the IdP failing to answer SPs authentication requests with the following error message : WARN <span class="error">[org.opensaml.saml2.binding.security.SAML2AuthnRequestsSignedRule:81]</span> - SPSSODescriptor role metadata for entityID 'https://rms.renater.fr/' could not be resolved</p>
<p style='margin-top:0;margin-bottom:10px;'>The problem was manually fixed with an IdP restart, thus refreshing the local copy of the metadata.</p>
<p style='margin-top:0;margin-bottom:10px;'>Here is what our metadata definition looks like in the relying-party.xml file :</p>

<p style='margin-top:0;margin-bottom:10px;'>Nothing relevent I could find in idp-process.log or catalina.out.</p>
<p style='margin-top:0;margin-bottom:10px;'>Strange coincidence : a French university (u-paris2.fr) has just reported the same issue today; their metadata file had not been updated for 5 days. They also had to restart their IdP. They are also using Shibboleth IdP 2.4.0.</p>
<p style='margin-top:0;margin-bottom:10px;'>Because we have the hand on the metadata distribution server too, I had a look at its Apache logs, looking for the IP address of our IdP. It shows below that metadata get downloaded every 3 hours, but downloads stopped for 5 days :</p>
