And I'll just add to that scenario.. we are currently dealing with a vendor that is charging $ to add a signing certificate for existing SSO implementations. No support for encrypted assertions either.

Has anyone mandated it after the fact and how does one justify spending $ for it?

thanks,
Shweta

So how do you handle "making" a vendor change their metadata to include
a cert for signing and the validUntil setting, especially when your
Senior management is dictating that a badly designed application be
added to your Shibboleth service?


Thanks,
