Briefly, No.<br>
<br>
Metadata is transportable (it is your statement about your IdP which other entities will save and consult), so specifying a file:<br>
type URL (even if it was allowed) would not work. With one unimportant edge case exception, the metadata is of no interest to the<br>
IdP.<br>
<br>
In a usual deployment the IdP cert will be extremely slowly changing so the cost of cut and pasting the certificate into your<br>
metadata file will not be a burden.<br>
