You were right, there was a more detailed error when we hit it from the
server itself. 

This was from the shibboleth2.xml using SSO to replace Session Initiator.

<SSO discoveryProtocol="WAYF"
discoveryURL="https://new.educause.edu/user/wayf">
			  SAML2 SAML1
			</SSO>


Error:

An Unexpected Error Occurred (shibsp::ConfigurationException)

The system encountered an error at Tue Sep 17 08:50:03 2013

To report this problem, please contact the site administrator at
support at educause.edu.

Please include the following message in any email:

shibsp::ConfigurationException at
(https://new.educause.edu/Shibboleth.sso/DS)

Shibboleth handler invoked at an unconfigured location.



Does this sound familiar?

Thank you,

Johnny
