InCommon maintains an Export Aggregate for the purposes of interfederation:
In terms of content, the Export Aggregate is a proper subset of the Main Aggregate. For more information about the various metadata aggregates used in the InCommon Federation, see the Download InCommon metadata parent topic.
End entities typically do not consume the Export Aggregate, which is intended for other federations and aggregation services such as eduGAIN. In any case, the Export Aggregate is signed with the same metadata signing key used to sign other InCommon aggregates. To verify the signature on the metadata, a consumer must obtain an authentic copy of the InCommon Metadata signing certificate.
Entity metadata is included in the Export Aggregate subject to the following policy:
InCommon Operations refreshes the Export Aggregate daily, in conjunction with the daily metadata-signing process.
InCommon Operations reserves the right to prevent any entity from being exported. See the Interfederation Technical Policy topic for a complete list of export policy rules. |
InCommon recommends the following options:
To adjust your export option, log into the Federation Manager and then click "IdP Metadata Wizard" or "SP Metadata Wizard" as appropriate. Simply edit the metadata and check the box to indicate your choice. |
Type the following commands to obtain a list of entityIDs in the export aggregate:
# InCommon export aggregate distribution point $ MD_LOCATION=http://md.incommon.org/InCommon/InCommon-metadata-export.xml # Fetch the metadata and list the entityIDs of exported entity descriptors $ MD_PATH=/tmp/InCommon-metadata-export.xml $ curl --silent $MD_LOCATION \ | tee $MD_PATH \ | grep -F ' entityID=' \ | sed 's/^.* entityID="\([^"]*\).*$/\1/' |
