The OP's problem was due to a mismatch/typo in the entityID. Nothing
else.<br>

Well, the answer is going to be the same: if the metadata lookup
says that it's not there, then well, it's not there. Either you
have a similar issue with a wrong/typo-ed entityID, or the metadata
that you're looking at isn't actually loaded into memory. Or
something similar to that.<br>

There's no mystery: the entityID
'<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://archives.heal-link.gr/shibboleth">https://archives.heal-link.gr/shibboleth</a>' doesn't exist in the live
metadata with that role and protocol. Check spelling, lower vs
upper case issues, trailing slash, etc. The entityID has to be
exactly that string.<br>
