Description

Details of the scenario you tried and the problem that is occurring

I am trying to use MetadataEndPoint because I want SharePoint to extract certificate so I don't have to obtain it manually and specify in "SigningCertificateFilePath" in the DSC resource.

Verbose logs showing the problem

N/A

Suggested solution to the issue

Implement parameter set with "MetadataEndPoint"

Research direction

Start at the SPTrustedIdentityTokenIssuer DSC resource and inspect how its parameter sets handle MetadataEndPoint and SigningCertificateFilePath. Reproduce the SharePoint 2019 configuration with MetadataEndPoint, then verify that the resource accepts the parameter and obtains the signing certificate without requiring SigningCertificateFilePath.
