Sometimes the source of SAML Metadata publishes a particular set of configuration data within a larger set of data for many SAML entities. The issue has been raised previously in #346
Where this is the case,
<md:EntityDescriptor>
may not be defined at the root of the Metadata XML, but is within<md:EntitiesDescriptor>
.This modification allows for the three use cases I have seen:
<md:EntityDescriptor>
is at the Metadata root and the data refers to only one SAML entity (currently handled)<md:EntityDescriptor>
is within<md:EntitiesDescriptor>
and the data refers to only one SAML entity<md:EntityDescriptor>
is within<md:EntitiesDescriptor>
and the data refers to many SAML entitiesFor case three, the particular entity descriptor data to be retrieved can be specified in the parse call (as detailed in the updated README)
