Metadata Sources
Metadata sources in the UI are individual metadata artifacts describing single entities, typically relying parties. There are 2 ways to access these artifacts.
MDQ
To be written
File export
Files can be periodically written to disk. Define the application property
shibui.metadata-dir
, and the files will be written out by default every 30 seconds. Note that there is no default value set for this property and no file will be written by default. To change the run rate, set theshibui.taskRunRate
application property, in milliseconds.
Docker considerations
If writing the files out, one should use a mount in the docker container for the destination. While a bind mount might be easiest, if running on a Windows host, one might run into problems. This is easily avoided by using a volume instead. Refer to https://docs.docker.com/storage/ for more information.
