Description

Profile fetches live metadata from Engine's /metadata/idp endpoint when showing the "my attributes" page (presumably to get the IdP logo)

This is not the official metadata source for Openconext and this leads to bugs like https://github.com/OpenConext/OpenConext-engineblock/issues/1910

Instead, Profile should either fetch the metadata from Manage or from the official metadata endpoint at https://engine.test2.surfconext.nl/authentication/proxy/idps-metadata.

Research direction

Start at the code that loads data for the "my attributes" page and search for Engine's /metadata/idp endpoint. Compare the available metadata sources named in the issue, then verify that Profile no longer fetches live metadata from Engine and that the IdP metadata needed by the page still loads correctly.
