Thank you all for the answers. Because I still do not have the answers, I
will try to rephrase

IdP consumed this metadata:
  <md:KeyDescriptor>
    <ds:KeyInfo>
    <ds:KeyName>Active</ds:KeyName>
...
  <md:KeyDescriptor>
    <ds:KeyInfo>
    <ds:KeyName>Standby</ds:KeyName>

SP has in shibboleth2.xml
   <CredentialResolver type="File" keyName="Active" key=...
   <CredentialResolver type="File" keyName="Standby" key=...

Let a user try to auth. via the IdP to the SP:
1. Will it work?
2. What if Active/Standby are vice versa at one of them?


Another case study, IdP consumed this metadata:
  <md:KeyDescriptor>
    <ds:KeyInfo>
    <ds:KeyName>Active</ds:KeyName>

SP has in shibboleth2.xml
   <CredentialResolver type="File" keyName="Active" key=...
   <CredentialResolver type="File" keyName="Standby" key=...


3. Will it work?
4. What if Active/Standby are vice versa at the SP?

Best,
Jozef
