Not sure this is what you've done but both steps 2 and 6 should state
to copy any jars into the IdP's unpacked distribution's lib/
directory, and rebuild the war after that.

You should be able to verify that both jars are part of the idp.war
(e.g. `unzip -l war/idp.war | fgrep jar` or any other way on
MS-Windows).

Do you get any errors anywhere during authentication?
How did you test authentication?

Also try using the FlatFile method for comparison (does not rely on an
external network service).
