It is my idP's log, sorry if I did not state this more clearly.

I added testshib.org to my relay-party.xml file as descried on the side, 
and I hoped that this meant that my idP would relay any requests to 
testshib.org as default.

If this is not the case, I have failed to understand how to use 
testshib.org for idP testing :-)

That is right ...

idP : https://idp.moch.dk/idp
SP : https://lue.dk/sso (the resource really)

I will try :-)

Aha, if that is the case it explains why it does not work :-)

What is then the purpose of the "Identity provider configuration" in the 
https://www.testshib.org/configure.html ?

Thanks for your quick answer ... !
