Hi Nate,

Thank you for the reply sir. My apologies for the delayed response, I was
away from the office.

Also thank you for the helpful references and extending your hand to help
out if needed.

So looking at line 81 in the metadata-providers.xml file, it's at the very
end of the document, actually the first line below the last entry in the
document. Right above line 81 is:

<MetadataProvider id="CasMetadata"
                      xsi:type="FilesystemMetadataProvider"
                      metadataFile="PATH_TO_YOUR_METADATA"
                      indexesRef="shibboleth.CASMetadataIndices" />
    -->

</MetadataProvider>
