Yeah, this log flow clearly indicates that there is a client TLS cert
being presented in the request. If there wasn't a client cert, that
would be indicated by a different log message on DEBUG. So that doesn't
jib with the fact that this appears to be HTTP-Redirect, unless things
are seriously horked up, or.......

Could be that the browser is the thing presenting the client cert here,
not the SP (in fact has to be, unless there is serious horked-up-ness).

Good pickup! Yes, for the first time ever, there was a client cert in my browser (left over from earlier in the day testing against the Tomcat 8443 port).

Which reminds me -- I had a client cert in my browser because accessing the Tomcat 8443 port would fail UNLESS the client provided a cert.... hopefully, this is just a config option within tomcat....

That said... I REMOVED the client cert from my browser... and the IdP failed with the same error msg....

... which isn't consistent with what I said above.... once I removed the cert, I would have expected a tomcat level failure.... any chance the browser might cache the client cert somewhere? Or load them at startup?
