<para>The <literal>sha1</literal> checksum of the certificate
used by the IdP. If you don't know how to compute this, you can
leave it as it is, and then you'll get an error message the
first time you try to login. In this error message you are told
what is the fingerprint of the IdP certificiate, which you may
copy to this metadata parameter.</para>
<para>It is also possible to add an array of valid fingerprints,
where any fingerprints in that array is accepted as valid. This
can be used to update the certificate of the IdP without having
to update every SP at that exact time. Instead, one can update
the SPs with the new fingerprint, and only update the certificate
after every SP is updated.</para>
