Not use TLS, or set the signResponses profile configuration setting for that profile. Signing is silly if TLS is used, and most uses of Shibboleth involve TLS with a self-signed certificate today, though that's something we'd like to change (well, not really, but it's necessary).

Message level security is a very poor substitute for TLS, but that's where things are headed, to the extent queries even remain relevant (they're mostly not anymore).
