Metadata resolver is looking at ID instead of entityID

I wouldn't claim the IDP's metadata lookup was fundamentally broke
based on the wording of that log message. The message is that the
entity wasn't found, I'd say.

How did that not put an end to speculations about what happens here?

I have double and triple checked that the entityID

It wouldn't.

Because it doesn't look at that.

Which only leaves the obvious: Something in your config is wrong,
leading the IDP to not find your metadata.
