[Bug 1722435] [NEW] SAML plugin automatic refresh of metadata support

 

Public bug reported:

The SAML plugin currently supports the addition of multiple IDP
providers and a one time upload of the XML for that IDP, however it
would be useful to provide it with the link to the IDP providers
metadata (in xml form) and have it automatically fetch the metadata for
the site on a regular basis, so if the IDP changes it's metadata SSO
will automatically repair itself on the next fetch.

We can do this by integrating the MetaData refresh plugin from the
embedded simplesamlphp in the Mahara saml plugin and triggering it from
the Mahara cron.
