        <div class="comment-block" style="background-color:#edf5ff;border:1px solid #dddddd;color:#000000;padding:12px;"><p>Hello,</p>

<p>We've had another similar issue with our IdP (Shibboleth IdP 2.4.2, OpenSAML 2.6.3).<br/>
I realized this morning that our metadata file had not been refreshed since November 30th</p>

<p>/opt/shibboleth-idp/metadata# ls -ltr<br/>
total 13836<br/>
<del>rw-r</del><del>r</del>- 1 tomcat tomcat    5322 juin   8  2011 idp-metadata.xml<br/>
<del>rw-r</del><del>r</del>- 1 tomcat tomcat    5357 nov.  30 11:52 stats.renater-metadata.xml<br/>
<del>rw-r</del><del>r</del>- 1 tomcat tomcat 3585832 nov.  30 13:35 sps-renater-metadata.xml<br/>
<del>rw-r</del><del>r</del>- 1 tomcat tomcat 7345814 nov.  30 13:45 sps-edugain-metadata.xml</p>

<p>Therefore authentication would fail with error "SAML 2 SSO profile is not configured for relying party XXX" because metadata files had expired.</p>

<p>Reloading the IdP's Tomcat server has fixed the problem; metadata file has been reloaded.</p>

<p>I checked the log files to find out what happened around Nov 30th 13h45.<br/>
Extracts from idp-process.log:<br/>
13:45:31.233 - INFO <span class="error">&#91;edu.internet2.middleware.shibboleth.common.security.MetadataPKIXValidationInformationResolver:803&#93;</span> - PKIX validation info cache cleared<br/>
13:45:31.233 - INFO <span class="error">&#91;edu.internet2.middleware.shibboleth.common.security.MetadataPKIXValidationInformationResolver:803&#93;</span> - PKIX validation info cache cleared</p>

<p>Then nothing mentioning Metadata refresh.</p>

<p>The IdP is configured to reload metadata file every 5 minutes. The log file, before Nov 30th 13h45 reveals traces of metadata update evry 5 minutes until 13h45:<br/>

<p>It is very probable that this IdP could not contact the server that publishes the federation metadata on Nov 30th. However this has been sorted out in the meanwhile.</p>

<p>Could it be that the bug is not fixed in OpenSAML 2.6.3?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p></div>
