⁠MDQT Container - A Metadata Query Tool (in a container)

This project wraps a 20kb utility written in Ruby inside an entire portable OS, which feels rather ridiculous but may be useful for people who can install Docker but who don't want to bother with a Ruby and C development environment.

⁠MDQT?

MDQT is small library and commandline tool to query MDQ services for SAML metadata. You could do this with curl and xmlsec1 but it's a little more convenient to use mdqt instead.

MDQ currently supports:

• Downloading single entities, lists or aggregates
• Signature verification
• Validating metadata files against SAML2 schema
• Saving metadata to disk
• Caching entity metadata on disk
• Gzip compression
