Shibboleth setup.. So close but can use some help..

    <ApplicationDefaults
entityID="https://csisupport.cambridgesemantics.com/shibboleth"
                         REMOTE_USER="eppn persistent-id targeted-id">

Seems to have resolved the issue finally 

So to recap
/opt/shibboleth-idp/metadata/idp-metadata.xml 
entityID="https://csisupport.cambridgesemantics.com/idp/shibboleth"

also all the urls in this file have your address and /idp

/opt/shibboleth-idp/metadata/sp-metadata.xml
entityID="https://csisupport.cambridgesemantics.com/shibboleth" (which is
different for idp's entity id above)

also all urls in this file have your address and /Shibboleth.sso (i.e: not
/idp)

/etc/shibboleth/shibboleth2.xml
<ApplicationDefaults
entityID="https://csisupport.cambridgesemantics.com/shibboleth"

Note: I got endpoint errors after login when this had /idp/shibboleth

<SSO entityID="https://csisupport.cambridgesemantics.com/idp/shibboleth"

Note: This seems to need /idp otherwise I get errors about no metadata and
never get to login screen (I assume this means that this entityID must be
the same as the idp entity id

I'm pretty sure he did, or at least the SP metadata in question looks it.

And I'm pretty convinced that what's happening is that the IdP loading its
own metadata is masking the SP metadata with the same entityID in it. I
don't know why the error message is exactly what it is, but I'm pretty sure
the SP metadata is invisible here.
