Simple signature validation

 If I understand your description correctly, it kinda doubles down on the
diagnosis that the signing cert in the SP’s metadata is not the cert with
which they signed the request (hence preventing the use of that cert to
validate the signed request). You substituted a cert of your own in the
metadata to produce “Same result”: that substituted cert certainly wasn’t
used by the SP to sign the request, and that condition triggers exactly the
error you document.

Apologies if I misread your description.
