I pulled 2.3.0 from GU, and built it. It works fine with my "normal" usage.

However, when I tried this url, to triger the IDP-initiated sequence:

https://stc-test16.cis.brown.edu/idp/profile/SAML2/Unsolicited/SSO?providerId=https://stc-test9.cis.brown.edu/shibboleth

I got this NPE in my log file:
