One IDP to Multiple SPs

[Kuehner, Angela]

Thanks for the information. Unfortunately, I am relatively new to Shibboleth and I don't fully understand your reply. I have tried reading the Shibboleth wiki but have not found an answer yet.

Is there another way to add a MetaData provider without modifying the RelyingParty.XML? When you say Federate with someone else, what exactly does that mean?

I apologize in advance for the newbie questions but I am still learning. 

Thanks!

That's loosely speaking my setup, but "local" has become "can be scripted/generic" and "partner" has become "pain in neck that has to be manually dealt with in some way".

You (meaning the OP) should not be modifying relying-party.xml every time you federate with something and I'm not aware of anything in the documentation that is supposed to lead to that conclusion.
