Error with SPs registered with InCommon

[Mizushima, Marcus]

It is a bit more than just “long-recommended and widely deployed.” The 14 day period is in the InCommon Metadata Registration Practice Statement (https://incommon.org/federation/mrps/):

“The Federation Operator adds an expiration date to the metadata aggregate. The value of the validUntil XML attribute on the top-level <md:EntitiesDescriptor> element is a date two (2) weeks into the future.”

With that being said, this is something that logging identified as soon as it changed and should have been caught and dealt with when it first occurred and not after backup metadata expired.

Thanks, Scott and Michael, for correcting me. The newly published metadata violated the long-recommended and widely deployed configuration setting. Funny, so it was "giving bit more leeway" that broke the federation. -peter -- For Consortium
