Shibboleth IdPv3 administrative urls

[Michael A Grady]

There is a bit of documentation on using the admin/resolvertest endpoint, but I can see that there is also an admin/reload-service endpoint and admin/reload-metadata endpoint. I assumed, based on the documentation for using 'reload-service' as a CLI, that the query argument for admin/reload-service can be that same 'id' argument with one of the defined Reloadable Service IDs. So the following appears to work:

 ../idp/profile/admin/reload-service?id=shibboleth.AttributeResolverService

I guessed that the corresponding argument/value set for reloading metadata would be the 'id' of the MetadataProvider

  ./idp/profile/admin/reload-metadata?id=MyLocalMetadataFile

and that appears to have worked. Is the above correct, and anything else interesting about using the above endpoints that may not otherwise be obvious without looking at the code?
