Accessing 2 websites within Shibboleth

Peter,
I am trying to use the same IDP to access another vhost.  I have setup the additional vhost in my ssl.conf file.  
BTW - If I turn SSO off for the application site a login screen appears.  When I turn it on I get the MetadataException error listed below.
Thanks.

Try the documentation, home for the Shib SP:
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/
-> "Configure"
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/Configuration
-> "Talk to a New Identity Provider"

That could mean several things: Do you want to add another organization from where people should log in to your existing service?
Then the above covers that.

Or do you want to add another application or vhost to your existing installation, to be used by the same IDP(s) currentiyl accessing your application?

This error would be the result of trying to add another authentication server (IDP) to your service. If you instead want to add another vhost the details depend on the web server used, and the intended or acceptable isolation between the new server(name) and the existing one.
