CAS Shib issues

Terry,

For standard Shibboleth rather than CASShib, the endpoint as described  
in the metadata would be correct.  The first one, in the request as  
generated by Shibboleth for CASShib I presume, may or may not be  
correct -- it's not our code nor our product.  From a quick glance at  
their guide at:

http://code.google.com/p/casshib/wiki/ShibbolethApacheTomcatInstallationAndConfigurationForCASShib

It would be the special Sessions element handlerURL described there  
that is causing the mismatch.

I don't have the spare cycles at this very moment to investigate how  
CASShib works in more detail, but you can try modifying the SP  
metadata as loaded by the IdP so that the AssertionConsumerService  
Location attribute matches that in the AuthnRequest, e.g. https://myunbtest.its.unb.ca/casshib/shib/myunb/Shibboleth.sso/SAML2/POST 
.

             <AssertionConsumerService index="1" isDefault="true"
                 Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:bindings:HTTP- 
POST"
                 Location="https://myunbtest.its.unb.ca/casshib/shib/myunb/Shibboleth.sso/SAML2/POST 
"/>

That will resolve the immediate complaint of the IdP.  You may  
encounter other issues.  If they're primarily related to CASShib, then  
you might try their mailing list at:

How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now,
Nate.
