The Shibboleth Metadata Aggregator provides a command line tool and REST-based web service to support publishers and consumers of metadata. In both cases, the product supports reading in metadata from multiple sources, verifying, filtering, and transforming the consumed data. The command line takes this data and produces one or more output files which may be consumed by other products that support SAML Metadata. The web service provides a mechanism for dynamically querying for processed data.
The expected audience of this tool are organizations which operate multiple identity providers or service providers or which are responsible for the registration of many such systems.
Please note, this tool is currently under development and no product release has yet been published.
