Retiring Legacy Metadata Download Endpoint - February 14, 2018

For many years, InCommon has supported a redirect from a very old metadata download location:

http://wayf.incommonfederation.org/InCommon/InCommon-metadata.xml

And

https://wayf.incommonfederation.org/InCommon/InCommon-metadata.xml

To the current production (“main”) aggregate location:

http://md.incommon.org/InCommon/InCommon-metadata.xml

On February 14, 2018, InCommon Operations will REMOVE this redirect.

Before that date, it is CRITICAL that all production metadata clients be configured to fetch metadata from http://md.incommon.org/InCommon/InCommon-metadata.xml or one of the other three locations on md.incommon.org.

If you currently fetch metadata from one of the old (wayf.incommonfederation.org) locations noted above, you need to reconfigure your deployment. Failure to do so will mean your IdP and/or SPs will break on February 27, 2018.

At the bottom of this page, you will find a list of hosts, updated weekly, that are still downloading metadata from the old location. If you see a host on the list that is at your organization, please contact the relevant systems personnel to arrange to switch metadata consumption to one of the supported aggregates.

Please pass along this information to anyone in your organization who is responsible for running an IdP or SP in InCommon, especially those such as delegated administrators or other systems administrators who may not be subscribed to this mailing list.
