Can env vars be referenced in shibboleth2.xml?

Hi, all,

I think the answer is no, but I figured I'd ask before giving up and moving on to plan B. Can I pull things like my entity ID and discovery URL in to shibboleth2.xml using environment vars? I was hoping I could use a ${SP_ENTITY_ID} or similar to set the entityID attribute on the <ApplicationDefaults> block inside a dockerized SP. I can, of course, put these values in from env vars using a little sed magic, but I was hoping for a cleaner solution.

My tests so far indicate it can't be done, and I see no references in the documentation, but I figured I'd ask.

Keith
