Syntax

ANSI (Cross Platform)
int LoadSPMetadata(const char* lpszFileName);

#define MID_SAMLIDPSERVER_LOADSPMETADATA 7

SECUREBLACKBOX_EXTERNAL int SECUREBLACKBOX_CALL SecureBlackbox_SAMLIdPServer_Do(void *lpObj, int methid, int cparam, void *param[], int cbparam[], int64 *lpllVal);

Remarks

The Service provider (SP) may have a lot of different options and requirements for interactions with the Identity provider (IdP). Usually all these options together with X.509 certificates needed for data exchange are stored in XML metadata files. Use this method to load metadata from such file generated by the service provider.

FileName specifies the metadata file name.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns an Integer value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
