The implication here is you *can* find cert/key information for the
cluster member certs (fed1, fed2) on the respective servers.  Is that
the case?

>If I navigate to either fed1 or fed2 directly via web browser, neither have valid certificates.

What is it about the certs that isn't valid?  Do you get a cert for
fedx but it's expired, or is it a cert for itfederation.jmu.edu but
you get a hostname mismatch?

We've replicated this setup in a dev environment as well. All of the above, to my knowledge, have ssl certs signed by InCommon.

If I navigate to itfederation.jmu.edu in a browser, I can pull cert information for itfederation.jmu.edu. I cannot find the cooresponding certificate or key information for itfederation.jmu.edu on the file systems of either it-federation1 or it-federation2. If I navigate to either fed1 or fed2 directly via web browser, neither have valid certificates.
