Once you join a federation or establish trust with another installation, you will
use (or be given in signed form) similar metadata to describe and locate sites

+ <OriginSite> elements are used by all versions of the Shibboleth target software
+ and WAYF to determine the set of origins to accept users from and related information
+ about the names of certificates they will use.
+
+ <DestinationSite> elements are used by Shibboleth 1.2 origin site software to
+ "verify" incoming requests from 1.2 targets. 1.1 targets are handled in a
+ compatibility mode by treating the request in accordance with the
+ defaultRelyingParty value. Additionally, 1.2 targets that cannot be matched to
+ a known DestinationSite are also treated in this fashion.
