How are you managing the metadata? I designed our process here around
"registration of virtual hosts" with the initial one a special case of
also registering the certificate. So they just sort of know they have to
do this when they add or change hosts, and I trap that error so it's
recognizable.

I honestly don't think it even works well using the generator. The metagen
script works much better for this, and I use that myself to generate the
metadata for all the SPs on campus. I don't have them do anything with
their metadata.
