Detailed Description

Supplies an individual source of metadata.

The source can be a local file, remote service, or the result of a dynamic lookup, can include local caching, etc. Providers MUST be locked before any lookup operations.


Constructor & Destructor Documentation

opensaml::saml2md::MetadataProvider::MetadataProvider ( const xercesc::DOMElement *  e = nullptr) [protected]

Constructor.

If a DOM is supplied, a set of default logic will be used to identify and build MetadataFilter plugins and install them into the provider.

The following XML content is supported:

  • <MetadataFilter> elements with a type attribute and type-specific content
  • <Exclude> elements representing a BlacklistMetadataFilter
  • <BlacklistMetadataFilter> element containing <Exclude> elements
  • <Include> elements representing a WhitelistMetadataFilter
  • <SignatureMetadataFilter> element containing a <KeyResolver> element
  • <WhitelistMetadataFilter> element containing <Include> elements

XML namespaces are ignored in the processing of these elements.

Parameters:
eDOM to supply configuration for provider

Member Function Documentation

Adds a metadata filter to apply to any resolved metadata.

Will not be applied to metadata that is already loaded.

Parameters:
newFiltermetadata filter to add
void opensaml::saml2md::MetadataProvider::doFilters ( xmltooling::XMLObject &  xmlObject) const [protected]

Applies any installed filters to a metadata instance.

Parameters:
xmlObjectthe metadata to be filtered
virtual const EntitiesDescriptor* opensaml::saml2md::MetadataProvider::getEntitiesDescriptor ( const XMLCh *  name,
bool  requireValidMetadata = true 
) const [virtual]

Gets the metadata for a given group of entities.

If a valid group is returned, the resolver will be left in a locked state. The caller MUST unlock the resolver when finished with the group.

Parameters:
namethe name of the group
requireValidMetadataindicates whether the metadata for the group must be valid/current
Returns:
the group's metadata or nullptr if there is no metadata or no valid metadata
virtual const EntitiesDescriptor* opensaml::saml2md::MetadataProvider::getEntitiesDescriptor ( const char *  name,
bool  requireValidMetadata = true 
) const [pure virtual]

Gets the metadata for a given group of entities.

If a valid group is returned, the resolver will be left in a locked state. The caller MUST unlock the resolver when finished with the group.

Parameters:
namethe name of the group
requireValidMetadataindicates whether the metadata for the group must be valid/current
Returns:
the group's metadata or nullptr if there is no metadata or no valid metadata

Implemented in opensaml::saml2md::AbstractMetadataProvider.

virtual std::pair<const EntityDescriptor*,const RoleDescriptor*> opensaml::saml2md::MetadataProvider::getEntityDescriptor ( const Criteria criteria) const [pure virtual]

Gets entity metadata based on supplied criteria.

If a valid entity is returned, the provider will be left in a locked state. The caller MUST unlock the provider when finished with the entity.

Parameters:
criterialookup criteria
Returns:
the entity's metadata (and optionally a role) or nullptr if there is no qualifying metadata

Implemented in opensaml::saml2md::AbstractMetadataProvider, and opensaml::saml2md::DynamicMetadataProvider.

virtual const xmltooling::XMLObject* opensaml::saml2md::MetadataProvider::getMetadata ( ) const [pure virtual]

Gets the entire metadata tree, after the registered filter has been applied.

The caller MUST unlock the provider when finished with the data.

Returns:
the entire metadata tree

Implemented in opensaml::saml2md::DynamicMetadataProvider.

virtual void opensaml::saml2md::MetadataProvider::init ( ) [pure virtual]

Should be called after instantiating provider and adding filters, but before performing any lookup operations.

Allows the provider to defer initialization processes that are likely to result in exceptions until after the provider is safely created. Providers SHOULD perform as much processing as possible in this method so as to report/log any errors that would affect later processing.

Implemented in opensaml::saml2md::DynamicMetadataProvider.

Removes a metadata filter.

The caller must delete the filter if necessary.

Parameters:
oldFiltermetadata filter to remove
Returns:
the old filter
