I am using a single type SAML2 SessionInitiator, so no chaining, no DS.

I did not change any relevant element in shibboleth2.xml from the previous working configuration, and did not touch or any other config file.

The strange thing is: In the error state I restored former, working versions of my shibboleth2.xml, restarted shibd with them, but the error state remained. Although I did not believe that the browser cache could be the culprit, I tried with another browser from another VM, but it has the same result.

This is what I watched, and I did not have a beer with my lunch.

So you are saying that all state is purged when restarting shibd?
