> Automatic reloading of relying-party.xml through the config alteration in service.xml is a bit b0rked. Simply touch the file so the timestamp changes - no other changes at all - and the config is reloaded automagically after the specified period, all good, no obvious errors displayed on DEBUG. Then when you try to connect to an SP where encryption is meant to happen, the browser displays an error - opensaml::FatalProfileException - Error from identity provider:
> Status: urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:status:Responder
> Message: Unable to encrypt assertion
> And the IdP shows this in its logs:
> 08:44:27.686 - ERROR [edu.internet2.middleware.shibboleth.idp.profile.saml2.AbstractSAML2ProfileHandler:923] - Could not resolve a key encryption credential for peer entity: https://sh2testsp1.iay.org.uk/shibboleth
> 08:44:27.688 - ERROR [edu.internet2.middleware.shibboleth.idp.profile.saml2.AbstractSAML2ProfileHandler:289] - Unable to construct encrypter

> Needless to say I tried this before the reload and it worked just fine. Restarting the container means it then works just fine until the next time the relying-party.xml is modified.
> Can provide the whole log snippet with the relying-party.xml reloading on DEBUG if required out-of-band (don't want to post it on here as it shows all of my config :-) ).
> This has also been seen by other people, e.g. Brett Slaughter, as discussed on shib-users. His env: Server: RHEL6 x64, IdP: 2.3.6, Tomcat: 6.0.35.0, JVM: 1.7.0_03
