| Global warnings | |
|---|---|
Signing certificate expired | Currently implemented. To be confirmed by the SG. |
Warnings on entity level | |
| md:EmailAddress in md:ContactPerson element should start with mailto: prefix | This violates line 495 of https://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/v2.0/saml-metadata-2.0-os.pdf and should be considered an error! |
SIRTFI attribute present and security contact found but no http://refeds.org/metadata/contactType/security contactType | SIRTFI specification error |
assurance-certification entity attribute is defined, but no appropriate md:ContactPerson set | http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/Post2.0/sstc-saml-assurance-profile-cs-01.pdf |
shibmd:Scope with no regexp attribute | https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SC/ShibMetaExt+V1.0 recommendation |
mdattr:EntityAttributes placed in md:Extensions element of SPSSODescriptor/IDPSSODescriptor, expected in md:Extensions element of EntityDescriptor | Since http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/Post2.0/sstc-metadata-attr.html does not define appearance of this element in places other then md:Extensions element of EntityDescriptor it is most likely that the condition is a result of a mistake. |
mdrpi:RegistrationPolicy not found | eduGAIN SAML profile Section 3 |
mdrpi:RegistrationInfo element defined more than once within a given md:Extensions element | This violates http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/Post2.0/saml-metadata-rpi/v1.0/cs01/saml-metadata-rpi-v1.0-cs01.html section 2.1 therefore should be an error |
mdattr:EntityAttributes element contains saml:AttributeValue with leading/trailing whitespaces | |
mdattr:EntityAttributes element appears more than once within a given md:Extensions element | Violates http://docs.oasis-open.org/security/saml/Post2.0/sstc-metadata-attr.html section 2.3, therefore should be an error. |
Warnings on entity’s role level | |
mdui:PrivacyStatementURL does not start with http:// https:// | Not a direct specification error, but probably should be considered as such? |
