Recommendations
- All SP SHOULD use the swamid-idp-transitive.xml metadata feed.
- Identity providers SHOULD use both swamid-2.0.xml and swamid-1.0.xml until SWAMID 1.0 has been fully deprecated.
- Green lines in the picture on the left represent the recommended choices for Service Providers (left) and Identity Providers (right).
