Scott:

Thank you very much, especially for the tips.

On a related note, is the option to encrypt/not encrypt the nameID
different when using Unsolicited SSO?  The reason I ask is because in the
bean for this entityId in the relying-party file, I have the following line:

p:encryptNameIDs="false"

Unfortunately, the nameId looks like its still being encrypted (with what,
I have no idea, since the metadata for this particular entityId does not
include an X509 cert).

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mike
