Keep the Shib IdP running if there are some issues in relying-party.xml file

[Yaowen Tu]

Hi,

Suppose I defined some SP in the relying-party.xml like this:

 <metadata:MetadataProvider id="ShibbolethMetadata"
xsi:type="metadata:ChainingMetadataProvider">

        <metadata:MetadataProvider id="someSP1" maxRefreshDelay="P1D"
metadataFile="D:\...\...\metadata.xml"
xsi:type="metadata:FilesystemMetadataProvider"/>

Based on my experiment, If the metadata file does not exist, the whole IdP
won't work.

Is there a setting some where to tell the IdP to skip the the SPs whose
metadata file or URL is not accessible?

There is no such setting, Is there any specific reason why we don't do
this? any potential issues?


Thanks,
Yaowen
