Shibboleth Developers

[Thomas Lenggenhager <>]

When looking at the sample config files for 1.2 in CVS I do not yet 
understand how the following relates to each other.

In the shibboleth.xml.in (CVS 1.3.1) there is the following definition with
a providerId URL:

    <Applications xmlns:saml="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.0:assertion"
        id="default" providerId="https://example.org/shibboleth/target";>

In the IQ-sites.xml (CVS 1.2) you find DestinationSite entries but the
DestinationSite uses a URN instead of a URL for the Name.
Shouldn't the providerId in a target config match a Name of a DestinationSite 
tag on the origin side to allow communication?
Or what for is the Name in DestinationSite else used?

Having one or two complete example configs of matching origin and target 
installations would help a lot, in addition to the deployment guides.
