[EXTERNAL] Re: authn/SAML outbound entityId

[Bobby Lawrence]

Yea it seems that maybe I'm overthinking this.  I'm already pulling in the IdP-only metadata from InCommon.
I can just tag those entities and then use the relying party config I want based on that.  Since its only IdPs that I'm tagging, the only time my IdP would be interacting with them is during the authn/SAML flow when we are in "SP-mode".  I dont know why I'm bothering trying to figure out in code if I'm in SP mode...

Thanks for the head up regarding the "registered by InCommon" entity tags.  I was originally thinking about going down this route but now I see that their IdP-only metadata contains entities from other federations.

Other than timing issues, an SPSSODescriptor role is eventually going to be there, but I doubt I would approach it that way.

A tag to drive an override would be the expected way to handle this. In principle either set being tagged would work, and it could be simpler to slap a tag on the one metadata source as potentially many.

Do not make the mistake of assuming "registered by InCommon" is what you want because most IdPs import all of eduGAIN, not just InCommon.
