NAME

       mellon_create_metadata - Populate initial SP metadata for mod_auth_mellon

SYNOPSIS

       mellon_create_metadata ENTITY-ID ENDPOINT-URL

DESCRIPTION

       The Apache module mod_auth_mellon provides a SAML 2.0 service provider (SP).  This service provider needs
       metadata  to  function.  You  can  create the initial configuration for this with mellon_create_metadata.
       Three files will be created in the current directory. A public and private key pair,  and  a  boilerplate
       metadata  xml  file  with the public key and the URLs of this installation, that can be further edited at
       will.

       You can reference these files in the configuration options MellonSPPrivateKeyFile,  MellonSPCertFile  and
       MellonSPMetadataFile, respectively.

OPTIONS

       Specify the desired entity ID of the SP. This needs to be globally unique and is therefore an URL or URN,
       probably  with your own domain in it.  The endpoint URL is the full URL to your mellon installation. This
       normally ends with "/mellon" unless configured otherwise.
