Thank Tom,

The IdP metadata does not include <shibmd:Scope>.  In fact, on closer
inspection, their metadata looks very different what I've seen before.
Below is the first part of their metadata.  Can you tell me what I need to
request instead of what they have provided.  Appreciate your help!

<md:EntityDescriptor ID="xxxxxxx" cacheDuration="PT120M" entityID="
https://institution.edu"
xmlns:md="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata"><ds:Signature xmlns:ds="
