Metadata documents are only accessible by https request. Our metadata endpoints DO NOT automatically redirect http requests.

All metadata documents are signed by the AAF. Subscribers MUST use the public key available at https://md.test.aaf.edu.au/aaf-metadata-certificate.pem to verify metadata documents whenever they are retrieved.

To confirm that you have obtained the correct key ensure the file you have downloaded conforms to the following:
