I already pointed you to the documentation and named the specific
setting. The most specific URL I can get out of the wiki is:
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/NativeSPApplication#NativeSPApplication-RelyingPartyAttributes
Then search for the attribute "signing". Here's the full text, which
should need no further explanation:

  * signing ("true", "false", "front", or "back") (defaults to "false")

    Controls outbound signing of XML messages. If "true", all are
    signed. If "front", only front-channel messages are signed. If "back",
    only back-channel messages are signed.

So either you did change a default or the default has changed in the
meantime. (I'd recommend to carry over your config to a new updated
config at some point.)
