1) When using a web browser and going after its ../idp/pub..
metadata file url the following error is displayed (I've changed
the url of this IdP to protect the innocent):<br>

<p>Aside from the error itself, it's not clear how you are hosting
things at /idp/pub like that. Not saying it's not possible or
allowed, but I think you're assuming we know the technical details
of what you're doing, and I don't think we do.<br>

What's the cause of this?</blockquote>

<p>It's not clear to me what piece of software is raising that
error... But the XML error itself is pretty clear. In that XML
document you apparently don't have a namespace declaration for the
shibmd prefix. On the document root element, or at least on some
ancestor element of that shibmd:Scope one, you must have an
attribute like below. Standard XML namespaces stuff.</p>
