Yes, what you're doing is correct.

This was an EntityDescriptor unmarshalling bug discovered shortly after 2.0.0 came out:

https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/JOST-30

It was fixed and should be in the 2.1.0 which was just released yesterday 4/21/08.  Try upgrading your library jars for opensaml2, openws and xmltooling to the new revs and that should hopefully fix it.

Hi,

 

I am making a pretty extensive use of metadata for my SAML2-enabled application. All my metadata files contain KeyInfos with data about public certificates to be used to verify signatures.

But, in addition, all my metadata files are themselves signed.

 

I would like to know if it is possible to access the signature of such metadata files after reading them by means of the standard "providers" available in OpenSAML 2.

Currently I am using the following code to parse an EntityDescriptor into a Java object:

 

FileBackedHTTPMetadataProvider fbmd = new FileBackedHTTPMetadataProvider(url, cachePeriod, cacheLocation + "/" + metadataFilename + ".xml");
fbmd.setParserPool(new BasicParserPool());
fbmd.initialize();
EntityDescriptor exml = (EntityDescriptor) fbmd.getMetadata();

but when I try to get the signature with

exml.getSignature()

I get a null value. Is this the right way to read metadata from a remote URL and is there another way to get the metadata signature?

Thanks,
Paolo
