Shibboleth Developers

[Peter Williams <>]

At hour 4, I have NOT succeeded to verify the enclosed/attached metadata (a zip file) for a non Shib SP into the Shib2.0.0 IDP. Most of the time was spent on first time install orientation, learning the software package, its tomcat listener and the (very low level) configuration process. The install is on Win2003, Tomcat 6, shib 2.0.0.

The IDP apparently parses and installs the SP's metadata file, but only once one no longer has the machine attempt to verify signatures using the indicated self-signed cert. Debug logs provide no exception reports other than noting a nullpointer exception, during unmarshalling of the Relying party element. Producing variants of signed metadata made no notable difference (e.g. metadata produced to have and not have signer's keyinfo).

If I should use the shib users mailing list from hereon in, redirect me. Good luck on your first few days of a new major release. Focus on mainstream topics, not this issue.

Peter.
