There's an equivalent batch script called aacli.bat for use with MS-Windows..

I may be misreading the above but if you only reloaded the attribute
resolver configuration but also changed properties files
(e.g. saml-nameid.properties) then this isn't sufficient.
Properties files are only reliably read at the start of the JVM, i.e.,
you'd have to restart the IDP (or Java Servlet Container).
