[Unity-idm-discuss] Unable to configure metadata URL

[Gerben V. <ger...@su...>]

Recently I have migrated a Unity installation to a different machine. In doing so, I have changed the configuration slightly. I had to change the URL of the metadata, because the new machine resolves to a new name. At the same time I changed the name of the metadata file. In the examples the metatdata file was always referenced as metadata1. I could not understand the necessity of the ‘1’ and hence removed it. As it tuned out, the configured URL leads to a ‘404, Not Found’. No matter what I name my metadata file in the below configuration, it will always be:
  https://unity.sara.cloudlet.sara.nl:2443/unitygw/saml-sp-metadata/metadata1

It does not matter if I call it ‘metadata’ or ‘metadataaaaaa’. It always seems to live at: ‘metadata1’. I am not sure this is a bug, for I cannot find ‘metadata1’ in the source files (version: 1.6.1). Tried to look deeper in to the code, but Eclipse (Mars) does not seem to work with ‘m2e’ and gives me errors. Then again, I am not experienced with Eclipse.

My configuration file:

unity.saml.requester.requesterEntityId=https://unity.sara.cloudlet.sara.nl:2443/unitygw/saml-sp-metadata/metadata
unity.saml.requester.metadataPath=metadata
unity.saml.requester.requesterCredential=surfsara
unity.saml.requester.acceptedNameFormats.1=urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:persistent
unity.saml.requester.acceptedNameFormats.2=urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress
unity.saml.requester.acceptedNameFormats.3=urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient

#unity.saml.requester.displayName=Remote SAML authentication (SURFconext)

unity.saml.requester.remoteIdp.1.name=SURFconext IdP
unity.saml.requester.remoteIdp.1.address=https://engine.surfconext.nl/authentication/idp/single-sign-on
unity.saml.requester.remoteIdp.1.samlId=https://engine.surfconext.nl/authentication/idp/metadata
unity.saml.requester.remoteIdp.1.certificate=SURFconext
unity.saml.requester.remoteIdp.1.groupMembershipAttribute=urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.1
unity.saml.requester.remoteIdp.1.requestedNameFormat=urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:transient
#unity.saml.requester.remoteIdp.1.requestedNameFormat=urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:nameid-format:unspecified
unity.saml.requester.remoteIdp.1.translationProfile=SURFconext

What must I do to make the metadata appear at the configured URL?

Cheers,
Gerben
