Yes, it is, that's why it's called a "File" resolver. I don't have any
shortcut methods to wrap things directly, sorry. I'll add them if I get

Well, you do understand that means nothing though? You can't just accept
what the IdP sends you, that would be meaningless. Authentication of a

whether it verifies the signature.
