I know it doesn't affect encryption and I don't think it would affect signing unless PKIX path validation was involved, but I don't know for certain.

Yes, on the IdP side, it would current affect signing if you are
using a PKIX trust engine, but AFAIK not the more common and default
explicit trust engine.<br>
<br>
Also: If you have any web server (Apache/Tomcat/Jetty/etc) with an
MD5 cert and you have a newer Java client connecting to it, that
would be an issue. Right now that could happen if an IdP HTTP
metadata provider connected to such an HTTPS metadata source and
regular Java PKIX processing is in effect.<br>
