unable to get the ExternalApplicationOverrides element working

[Bart Geesink]

Hi,

I am trying to get a configuration working with 
ExternalApplicationOverrides. This is in shibboleth2.xml:

<ExternalApplicationOverrides path="/etc/shibboleth/override/"/>

The directory has a file called "applicationid-override.xml". This file 
contains a valid ApplicationOverride element:

<ApplicationOverride id="applicationid" 
entityID="https://myhostname/shibboleth">
     <Sessions lifetime="28800"
       timeout="3600"
       checkAddress="false"
       consistentAddress="false"
       handlerURL="/Shibboleth.sso"
       exportACL="127.0.0.1"
       idpHistory="false"
       idpHistoryDays="7"
       cookieProps="; path=/; secure; HttpOnly">
     </Sessions>
</ApplicationOverride>


The ApplicationOverride element above works fine when I add it inline to 
the shibboleth2.xml (without ExternalApplicationOverrides). However, 
placing it in a seperate file gives the following error:

"Unable to map non-default applicationId to an ApplicationOverride, 
check configuration"

What am I missing here?
