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 UK federation support team -- Sara Hopkins Support Team UK Access Management Federation for Education and Research web: http://www.ukfederation.org.uk/ The University of Edinburgh is a charitable body, registered in Scotland, with registration number SC005336.
