Install/Configuration/Run Errors

[Johnson, Roger [BSD] - HSD]

Hey David,

RadCompression ISN'T A IIS MODULE.  Its an application setting.

So, YES, it was a vanilla IIS Install

So this thing messes with the data being transmitted. I can see how that
would conflict with Shibboleth. Way back at the start, wasn't the
question asked "is this a vanilla IIS install"? It seems to me that if
you're adding this to it, it's no longer a vanilla IIS install.

Workaround: Don't use "RadCompression".

It might be a good idea to add this to the documentation for the next
guy that runs in to it though.
