Leif and Peter,<div><br></div><div>Thanks for the helpful advice and pointing out the Tomcat config guide. I switched to Tomcat 6 and placed the jars from the 'endorsed' directory in $CATALINA_HOME/endorsed (for me /Library/Tomcat/endorsed) and the problem is resolved...Rick<br>

</div>As Leif said, the endorsed jars need to be handled specially, which is<br>
described in the documentation:<br>
<a href="https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/IdPApacheTomcatPrepare" target="_blank">https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/IdPApacheTomcatPrepare</a><br>
(First item in section "Required Configuration Changes")<br>
<br>
This mage is linked to as item 1. on the installation documentation:<br>
<a href="https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/IdPInstall" target="_blank">https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/IdPInstall</a><br>
<br>
Also note that if you need to support SOAP requests (attribute<br>
queries, mosty) with that IdP -- however unlikely -- the page above<br>
also mentions that Tomcat7 is not supported yet.<br>
