Hello,
I am new to Shibboleth.
I noticed that the installer command in Shibboleth Identity Provider
5.2.3 accepts the --scope option, but this option does not appear to
be listed in the installer's help output (bin/install.sh --help).
I was going to open an issue for this, but it seems that I do not have
permission to create issues, so I am reporting it here instead.
Thank you.
