refuses to generate SP metadata until an IdP is configured

mod_auth_mellon currently refuses to serve SP metadata until an IdP is configured. This leads to annoying bootstrap issues, because in some cases it is necessary (or at least more convenient) to deploy an SP before the IdP is available.

The following error is generated when requesting mod_auth_mellon's metadata when no IdP is specified (yet):

[Tue Apr 16 14:54:01.896072 2019] [:error] [pid 103210] [client 145.101.114.22:47662] Error adding IdP to lasso server object. Please verify the following configuration directives: MellonIdPMetadataFile and MellonIdPPublicKeyFile.

Obviously, the IdP metadata is not required to generate SP metadata. Adding dummy IdP-metadata works around the issue, but it would be nice if mod_auth_mellon would just generate its metadata regardless of the IdP configuration.

Closing this issue as part of archiving this project. See the announcement for details:
