Right, that makes their metadata dead simple.

There is only one endpoint location that I can see but are you saying
that the endpoint in the online metadata is different than the
endpoint(s) in the snapshot metadata in the file system? Why is that?

Then that should Just Work (TM). Looking at the SAML assertion you
posted previously, it appears to work just fine, so I'm not sure what
the problem is.

Apparently you don't need a NameIDFormat filter since the desired
NameIDFormat is already in the metadata. In any case, since you've
already configured a FilesystemMetadataProvider, you may want to stick
with that for the time being. Once your integration is complete, I'll
go back and try to address Scott's concerns about using a
FileBackedHTTPMetadataProvider.
