testing idp w/ testshib

[C G]

Shib gurus:

We are going in circles testing our idp:

loaded the following idp data (metadata) to testshib and I always get 

opensaml::saml2md::MetadataException at (https://sp.testshib.org/Shibboleth.sso/TestShib)
Unable to locate metadata for identity provider (https://my.publicdomainip.com/idp/shibboleth)

 using self-signed certs, and just tomcat for testing..

Amy pointers to troubleshoot are highly appreciated. Thanks and good day.


PS: if it matters, idp std install was made with "localhost" and later replaced by my.publicdomainip.com
