\&\fBmdquery\fR \fB\-e\fR \fIentity\fR \fB\-r\fR \fIrole\fR \fB\-p\fR \fIprotocol\fR [\fB\-a\fR \fIapp\fR]
    [\fB\-ns\fR \fInamespace\fR] [\fB\-nostrict\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBmdquery\fR queries and displays Shibboleth SP metadata.  It is primarily a
debugging tool to use in conjunction with advice from the Shibboleth
mantaininers.  It can display either the metadata for an entity or the
metadata for a particular role.
.SH OPTIONS
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-a\fR \fIapp\fR" 4
.IX Item "-a app"
Specifies the application ID for which to retrieve metadata.  If not given
the default is \f(CW\*(C`default\*(C'\fR.
.IP "\fB\-e\fR \fIentity\fR" 4
.IX Item "-e entity"
Specifies the entity ID for which to show metadata.  Normally this is the
entity descriptor ID for an entity with which one is having a problem
(such as the entity ID for the local SP).
.IP \fB\-nostrict\fR 4
.IX Item "-nostrict"
Relax the strictness of checking (such as of expiration dates).
.IP "\fB\-ns\fR \fInamespace\fR" 4
.IX Item "-ns namespace"
When retrieving metadata for a particular role, specify the namespace.  If
not given, the default is the SAML20MD namespace.
.IP "\fB\-p\fR \fIprotocol\fR" 4
.IX Item "-p protocol"
Specify a protocol when retrieving metadata for a particular role.
Normally one would use the \fB\-saml10\fR, \fB\-saml11\fR, or \fB\-saml2\fR options to
specify the protocol name, but this option allows an arbitrary protocol to
be specified.
.IP \fB\-saml10\fR 4
.IX Item "-saml10"
Specify a protocol of SAML 1.0.
.IP \fB\-saml11\fR 4
.IX Item "-saml11"
Specify a protocol of SAML 1.1.
.IP \fB\-saml2\fR 4
.IX Item "-saml2"
Specify a protocol of SAML 2.0.
.IP "\fB\-r\fR \fIrole\fR" 4
.IX Item "-r role"
Retrieve the metadata for a particular role.  Normally one would use the
\&\fB\-idp\fR, \fB\-aa\fR, \fB\-pdp\fR, or \fB\-sp\fR options to specify the role name, but
this option allows an arbitrary role to be specified.
.IP \fB\-idp\fR 4
.IX Item "-idp"
Specify a role of IDPSSODescriptor.
.IP \fB\-aa\fR 4
.IX Item "-aa"
Specify a role of AttributeAuthorityDescriptor.
.IP \fB\-pdp\fR 4
.IX Item "-pdp"
Specify a role of PDPDescriptor.
.IP \fB\-sp\fR 4
.IX Item "-sp"
Specify a role of SPSSODescriptor.
