Shibboleth 2.4.3 SAML2 and WAYF

That is probably due to me simply copying the daemon into
shibboleth/shibd and not replacing all of the files in
shibboleth/etc/shibboleth except for shibboleth2.xml.  So I have a half
way working implementation.  I will copy all of the files over and see
what works out.  I may decide to delete the old shibboleth entirely.  Am
I correct in assuming that the embedded discovery service can replace my
WAYF and support both clients that are either SAML2 or SAML1?  I know
that would make my life much simpler.

Well, the schemas are wrong, so there's something off about the build.
It
might work with the appropriate pre-2.4 approaches as documented plus
the
new handler for the feed, or other things might break simply because
there's more wrong than just the schemas. At a minimum, any 2.4 only
config changes would not work because they'd be rejected at load time.
The
feed handler is a plug-point that doesn't actually require
schema-awareness so that could work.

I don't have any explanation for how a build from source would end up
with
the wrong schemas installed, but the files in
<prefix>/share/xml/shibboleth are out of date based on the error you got
with the new element.
