The current release of SP v2.4 requires that the entityId given by the
DS must be exactly as same as the one contained in the MD. That makes it
impossible to tell the SP that "you don't know the IdP, go ask third
party for metadata about an opaque string". 

Furthermore this SP plugin does not support redirect. This was actually
a problem for me to tell the SP where to retrieve metadata.
