LoadIDPMetadata Method
Loads the metadata required for information exchange with the identity provider.
Syntax
samlspserver.loadIDPMetadata(fileName, [callback])
Callback
The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).
The callback for this method is defined as:
function(err){ }
'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.
'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:
err.code err.message
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.
