Hi Joy,

What metadata are you using for Skillsoft that mentions 
AuthnRequestsSigned="true"?

Several months ago, Penn State convinced them to join InCommon and 
register their metadata there (entityID="https://sso.skillport.com"). 
That's the metadata I use for them, and I didn't seee the issue you're 
describing.

Hope that helps,

Max
