I had the same trouble yesterday (after reading a complaint on the ML
from a day before I had a pre-warning!), but a quick Google search
turned up a dozen or so mirror repositories, some of which had the
requisite repomd.xml and key files to work in the same fashion as the
original repository (RPM on CentOS7).

The one I used for now is:

cat /etc/yum.repos.d/security\:shibboleth.repo
[security_shibboleth]
name=Shibboleth (CentOS_7)
type=rpm-md
#baseurl=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:/shibboleth/CentOS_7/
baseurl=http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/security:/shibboleth/CentOS_7/
gpgcheck=1
#gpgkey=http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:/shibboleth/CentOS_7//repodata/repomd.xml.key
gpgkey=http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/repositories/security:/shibboleth/CentOS_7//repodata/repomd.xml.key
enabled=1

But I checked several of the others in the old message and many still
work and contain the latest packages.
Reference message:

Note, now download.opensuse.org is running again, and there is a list of
mirrors there too available now (not visible yesterday when site was
completely down):
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/security:/shibboleth/<distribution>/security:shibboleth.repo.mirrorlist
where distribution is for example CentOS_7 or SLE_11, etc.
