A /mellon/probeDisco endpoint replaces the builtin:get-metadata IdP

dicovery URL scheme. It is configured using the MellonProbeDiscoveryTimeout
and MellonProbeDiscoveryIdP directives.

Probe IdP discovery
===========================================================================
mod_auth_mellon has an IdP probe discovery service that sends HTTP GET
to IdP and picks the first that answers. This can be used as a poor
man's failover setup that redirects to your organisation internal IdP.
Here is a sample configuration:
MellonEndpointPath "/saml"
(...)
MellonDiscoveryUrl "/saml/probeDisco"
MellonProbeDiscoveryTimeout 1
The SP will sends HTTP GET to each configured IdP providerId URL until
it gets an HTTP 200 response within the 1 second timeout. It will then
proceed with that IdP.
If you are in a federation, then your IdP login page will need to provide
an IdP selection feature aimed at users from other institutions (after
such a choice, the user would be redirected to the SP's /saml/login
endpoint, with ReturnTo and IdP set appropriately). In such a setup,
you will want to configure external IdP in mod_auth_mellon, but not
use them for IdP probe discovery. The MellonProbeDiscoveryIdP
directive can be used to limit the usable IdP for probe discovery:
MellonEndpointPath "/saml"
(...)
MellonDiscoveryUrl "/saml/probeDisco"
MellonProbeDiscoveryTimeout 1
MellonProbeDiscoveryIdP "https://idp1.example.net/saml/metadata"
MellonProbeDiscoveryIdP "https://idp2.example.net/saml/metadata"
