SYNOPSIS

shib-metagen [-c cert [-c cert ...]] [-e entity-id]
    [-h host [-h host ...]] [-n host [-n host ...]]

DESCRIPTION

Generate metadata for a Shibboleth SP. The metadata is printed to standard output. Most of the parameters are optional, but at least one of -h or -n must be given to specify the hostname to use in constructing URLs for the Shibboleth service for the SP. Other metadata can be added by using the other command-line parameters. Most parameters can be given multiple times.

OPTIONS

-a admin
An administrative contact for this Shibboleth SP. This option may be omitted, in which case administrative contact metadata is not included, or may be given multiple times to list multiple contacts. admin should be in the form "first/last/email" where first is the given name and last is the surname.
-c cert
Specifies the SSL certificate used to identify this Shibboleth SP. This option may be given multiple times to specify multiple certificates. If it is not given, the default certificate is sp-cert.pem in the current working directory.
-e entity-id
The entity ID for this SP. This must be a unique identifier for this SP and must be a URL. If -o is given, it is used as the URL for the organization running this Shibboleth SP. If it is not specified, it defaults to "https://host/shibboleth" where host is the argument to the first -h option.
-h host
A hostname for this SP (possibly a virtual host). Either this option or -n must be specified at least once. It should be repeated for every virtual host that responds to the Shibboleth protocol. -h should be used for hostnames or virtual hosts that use SSL.
-n host
A hostname for this SP (possibly a virtual host). Either this option or -h must be specified at least once. It should be repeated for every virtual host that responds to the Shibboleth protocol. -n should be used for hostnames or virtual hosts that do not use SSL to protect the Shibboleth communication.
-o organization
The name of the organization that runs this Shibboleth SP. This option may be given only once and may be omitted, in which case organization metadata is not included. This is normally not necessary but may be used by other software systems for purposes such as displaying lists of entities with human-readable names.
-s support
A support contact for this Shibboleth SP. This option may be omitted, in which case support contact metadata is not included, or may be given multiple times to list multiple contacts. support should be in the form "first/last/email" where first is the given name and last is the surname.
-t tech
A technical contact for this Shibboleth SP. This option may be omitted, in which case technical contact metadata is not included, or may be given multiple times to list multiple contacts. tech should be in the form "first/last/email" where first is the given name and last is the surname.
