<p class="MsoNormal">The docs at <a href="https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/IDP30/Upgrading">
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/IDP30/Upgrading</a> do not indicate that using property placeholders in the conf/idp.properties file will cause an error in the install.sh/.bat script if they happen to be System properties…<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I do understand why the error, ‘…Could not resolve placeholder 'umt.idp.entityID' in string value "%{umt.idp.entityID}"…’, is happening. In our case, we are using a couple of these placeholders in the idp.properties file to specify server-environment-specific
values, such as entityID. We are setting those values in the Jetty start.ini file on each server. Those values obviously are not available to the installation script.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This is just an FYI that the docs don’t indicate this. Maybe this is a weird practice that doesn’t warrant a warning in the docs.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">As always, thanks for your time.<o:p></o:p></p>
