SP failing to decrypt assertion

Yes, sp-key.pem and sp-cert.pem are world readable / owned by root.

Changed the owner to sibd just in case…same results - “no credential resolver”

shibd.log does say Unable to load private key; restarted the shibd service - this time correctly loaded the key, built the CredentialResolver and now decrypts assertion from IdP.

I don’t know what a restart was needed, but probably should have done that on principle; mea culpa.
