LoadIDPMetadata Method

Loads the metadata required for information exchange with the identity provider.

Syntax

• C++
• Objective-C
• C

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

Unicode (Windows)
INT LoadIDPMetadata(LPCWSTR lpszFileName);

- (void)loadIDPMetadata:(NSString*)fileName;

#define MID_SAMLSPSERVER_LOADIDPMETADATA 3

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

Remarks

The Identity provider (IdP) may have different options and requirements for interactions with the Service Provider (SP). 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 a file generated by an IdP.

FileName specifies the metadata file name.

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a 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. (Note: This method's result code can also be obtained by calling the GetLastErrorCode() method after it returns.)
