enable additional SP metadata

[bmesuere]

My idp requires me to add additional fields (e.g. Organization, ContactPerson, ...) to my metadata before I can register my SP with them.

Is there a way to add these to the generated metadata?

Not supported.

You will need to extend the Metadata class

[bmesuere]

Thanks for your quick reply. It would be easier to extend this if generate was split into 2 separate methods: 1 to generate the document and 1 to sign and convert to string. The only way to do it right now is to effectively copy the existing code and add a few tags, which is not very future proof.

Yes other toolkits (php-saml, python-saml) have generation and sign separated.

Right now I see 2 alternatives:

• Extend generate method to accept contact and organization objects that will include info on the metadata.
• Extract the sign on a new static method and add a flag to sign or not the metadata calling the method we previously created, add another method that add contact and organization to the metadata.

if you implement that for your project and can provide a PR with unit test would be great.
