"invalid" EntityID attempting Salesforce-Shibb integration

[Walter Forbes Hoehn (wassa)]

I recently completed an integration with Salesforce, so I went back and checked our “SAML Single Sign-On Settings” page.  I can verify that the “Entity Id” field should indeed be populated with the entityID of the SP.
