Error - LoginContext key cookie was not present in request

[Priyanka W Dhoble]

Hi,

We have configured Shibboleth IDP server on Apache Tomcat/6.0.36 and have 3 service providers successfully configured on it.

When we added a new service provider it is giving error that "LoginContext key cookie was not present in request". We checked the configuration and it seems to be correct and same configuration is working for other SP's. Can you please let me know what can be the possible reason for this error and how can I resolve this issue?

Below is the detailed log of this.
