Check your IdP metadata provider setting for InCommon metadata. If it is configured to use the InCommon aggregate instead of using the MDQ protocol, then check if you have set a RequiredValidUntil metadata filter. If the maxValidityInterval is set to 14 days (P14D or some other time unit equivalent), you’ll want to temporarily increase that to 21 days. This is because recently the InCommon aggregate was published with a validUntil date 3 weeks in the future, instead of 2 weeks.

You can also confirm that this is the issue if you see messages like this in your idp-process.log:

ERROR [org.opensaml.saml.metadata.resolver.impl.AbstractReloadingMetadataResolver:376] - Metadata Resolver FileBackedHTTPMetadataResolver incommonaggregate: Error occurred while attempting to refresh metadata from 'https://mdq.incommon.org/entities'
