IDP v3.2.1 issue loading metadata

[Izz Noland]

(doh)...That makes sense.  I completely forgot about hidden chars in vi from a paste like that.  Thanks Scott!

It's not an IdP or SP issue, it's an XML issue. If you need some pointers to basic XML tutorials, the w3schools.com site is pretty good [1].

You can't cut and paste XML as a rule. You also can't cut and paste anything out of Confluence without risking hidden characters based on what others have said.

You have no namespace declaration for "xsi". Since the default file comes with one in the root element, I would guess that a hidden character is the most likely reason.
