That deceleration (<tt>
xmlns:shibmd="urn:mace:shibboleth:metadata:1.0" </tt>) you
mentioned below is part of the IdP metadata file. But comparing it
IdP metadata file to our production IdP our testing IdP's metadata
does not have the following line, which our production IdP metadata
does (as the first line):<br>
<br>
<div style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Segoe
UI", system-ui, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI
Emoji", sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal;
font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal;
font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align:
start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space:
normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px;"><?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?></div>

thx<br>

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>
