Hello,
we have discovered that UK federation republishes all entities from eduGAIN into their metadata:
http://metadata.ukfederation.org.uk/ukfederation-metadata.xml
but they are not doing oposite. So entites from UK federation are not being republished into eduGAIN.
I think this could confuse users. By a short experimenting I've found SP https://www.scran.ac.uk/ which offer login by using CESNET, Univerzita Karlova v Praze, ... IdP but those login will always fail because https://www.scran.ac.uk/ is not being exported into eduGAIN, our IdP doesn't know about https://www.scran.ac.uk/ and refuses login. Poor user, poor IdP admin who has to explain to users.
Is this intentional or is this a bug?
