It's up to the IdP if that works (it doesn't with Shibboleth), but the SP
uses different ACS endpoints for different protocols, and the IdP is
returning a SAML 2 response to the SAML 1 ACS at the SP.

I have no idea what you're doing or what its doing, but that won't work. I
would start by determining what SAML version is being used in the request
to the IdP based on logs, and then see if the problem is the IdP mixing
the protocols or something like that.

Uh, no, sorry.
