Here's my working v2 relying party config for Transact:

<!-- BlackBoard Transact does not support encryption; uses
AttributeQuery 2014-10-23 -->
   <RelyingParty
id="https://sp.transactsp.com/shibboleth-sp/mgmt-ualaska-sp.blackboard.com/mgmt"
       provider="urn:mace:incommon:alaska.edu"
       defaultSigningCredentialRef="IdPCredential"
       defaultAuthenticationMethod="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:ac:classes:PasswordProtectedTransport">
       <ProfileConfiguration xsi:type="saml:SAML2SSOProfile"
encryptAssertions="never" encryptNameIds="never" />
       <ProfileConfiguration
xsi:type="saml:SAML2AttributeQueryProfile" encryptAssertions="never"
encryptNameIds="never" />
   </RelyingParty>

Additional unique aspects of the Transact SP are:

<!-- Bb Transact require something like ePPN in the SAML Subject -->

<!-- Bb Transact requires its own unique FriendlyNames so add
definitions and encoders with those FriendlyNames -->
