Reading shibboleth IdP configuration from database

[Nanda Kumar]

Hi Rod,
  In order to fetch the attribute filter from the DB, I modify the service.xml to define the bean that does the read from DB 

<bean id="relyingPartySerializer" class="com.example.RelyingPartySerializerFromDB"/>

And then point to the bean from the RelyingPartyResolverResources like so:

<util:list id="shibboleth.RelyingPartyResolverResources">
        <ref bean=" relyingPartySerializer"/>
        <value>%{idp.home}/conf/credentials.xml</value>
        <value>%{idp.home}/system/conf/relying-party-system.xml</value>
 </util:list>

In this case the relying party configuration will be provided by the serializer in xml format.  Will the other two , the credentials and relying-party-system.xml will continue to be read from file?

Thanks
Nanda

Or one resource and use configuration to make the three different values.

Yup.

You shouldn't have to edit any of the system files.  You want to edit the definitions of these beans in service.xml to add your resources.  Instead 

<value>whatever</value> 

Do 

<ref>whatever</ref>
