This is the first SP that we have come across error messages like this.

2022-10-12 16:42:06,582 - WARN

I have searched the forum and one explanation was the certificate the SP
provided was incorrect from the metadata received. I reviewed that and it
is the same. I have the ability to configure the certificate that this SP
provides in their metadata and generated a new certificate. Same result. I
worked with their SAML techs and they made some minor changes on their end.
They said they are using OpenSAML 3.3.1


This is the error when going to the URL for the SP:

The request cannot be fulfilled because the message received does not meet
the security requirements of the login service.


The logon page is never displayed.
