    <!--
    Example HTTP metadata provider.  Use this if you want to download the metadata
    from a remote source.

    You *MUST* provide the SignatureValidationFilter in order to function securely.
    Get the public key certificate from the party publishing the metadata, and validate
    it with them via some out of band mechanism (e.g., a fingerprint on a secure page).

    The EntityRoleWhiteList saves memory by only loading metadata from SAML roles
    that the IdP needs to interoperate with.

    If you do not provide a SignatureValidation filter, then you have the
    responsibility to ensure that the contents on disk are trustworthy.
