Thanks for the pointer. It looks like in that thread, there was a recommendation to just leave handler.xml alone; in this thread though when I asked if it would be a good idea to remove the unused ProfileHandler configuration in handler.xml Scott's response was "Probably."

Thanks for the example. Out of curiosity, while your entry in the Federation does not include an AttributeAuthorityDescriptor section, if I pull your metadata directly from the idp, it is included, but with no bindings listed? Just out of curiosity, why is that?

Thanks much...
