Maybe there's a simple miscommunication here...are you sure they're
talking about the certificate in metadata used to verify the XML
signature on your SAML assertions? Could they be referring to your
browser-facing TLS certificate? The latter of course should be issued
by a trusted CA.

FYI, I asked your question on the InCommon participants mailing list as well:

https://lists.incommon.org/sympa/arc/participants/2014-01/msg00000.html

If you can convince Equifax to join InCommon, we may be able to help
you further. Other than that, I'm not sure what else to tell you.

Hope this helps,

Tom
