Hello Sara
Is this why we had problems logging in to Britannica? With an unknown identity provider error?
Useful to know why from the horses mouth if so, thanks.

Dear All,
I must apologise for the problems experienced by UK federation members
today relating to the published federation metadata file. We identified
an issue where some of the federation metadata servers were serving an
expired version of the metadata file. This issue has now been resolved,
but some entities, SPs in particular, may still have cached copies of
the invalid metadata.
We recommend that SPs refresh their metadata straight away, if they
haven't done so since 4pm today (Monday March 12th 2012).
Regards,
Sara Hopkins
