IdP class not found exception

[Richard Allen]

Leif and Peter,

Thanks for the helpful advice and pointing out the Tomcat config guide.  I
switched to Tomcat 6 and placed the jars from the 'endorsed' directory in
$CATALINA_HOME/endorsed (for me /Library/Tomcat/endorsed) and the problem is
resolved...Rick
