<p class="MsoPlainText">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> I'm a little turned around on the SP metadata. I have an install of shibboleth-2.3.8 as my IdP. I want to protect some applications using shibboleth-sp (2.5.1). I got everything running against TestShib, which is good. When I tried
protecting my applications, though, shibboleth is crapping out. The earliest issue is this warning: 'SPSSODescriptor role metadata for entityID 'https://my.shibboleth.server.com/shibboleth' could not be resolved'.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"> I *think* I need to set up a MetadataProvider in the IdP for the SP, as detailed here:
<a href="https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/IdPMetadataProvider#IdPMetadataProvider-DefinetheMetadataProvider">
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/IdPMetadataProvider#IdPMetadataProvider-DefinetheMetadataProvider</a>. Does that seem correct? If so, this is what I have right now in relying-party.xml. I guess I'd add a file-backed HTTP metadata provider
pointing to my SP?<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><span style="font-family:"Courier New""><!-- MetadataProvider the combining other MetadataProviders --><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"> Do I need to set up Metadata for the SP as detailed on <a href="https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/MetadataForSP">
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/MetadataForSP</a>? I'm a little surprised that the SP doesn't come with metadata already defined, but I may be grossly misunderstanding.<o:p></o:p></p>
