If I’m understanding correctly, the second machine (for the SOAP call) doesn’t know what the transient identifier is and fails. This is only happening against a certain SP, is this a configuration issue, can it be resolved at the load balancer with cookies, or is this where Terracotta comes in?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>One server logs show:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>10:52:44.856 - DEBUG [edu.internet2.middleware.shibboleth.common.attribute.resolver.provider.attributeDefinition.TransientIdAttributeDefinition:97] - Building transient ID for request null; outbound message issuer: https://shibdev.umaryland.edu/idp/shibboleth, inbound message issuer: https://libraries.umd.edu/pdst-hs/sp, principal identifer: brent<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>10:52:44.856 - DEBUG [edu.internet2.middleware.shibboleth.common.attribute.resolver.provider.attributeDefinition.TransientIdAttributeDefinition:115] - Created transient ID _28edc2119a5448b0e2f8a2943fb8ebe9 for request null<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>…<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>The other server shows:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>10:52:45.137 - INFO [Shibboleth-Access:74] - 20130107T155245Z|129.2.19.180|shibdev.umaryland.edu:8443|/profile/SAML1/SOAP/AttributeQuery|<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>10:52:45.139 - INFO [org.opensaml.common.binding.security.SAMLProtocolMessageXMLSignatureSecurityPolicyRule:100] - SAML protocol message was not signed, skipping XML signature processing<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>10:52:45.140 - INFO [org.opensaml.ws.security.provider.ClientCertAuthRule:153] - Authentication via client certificate succeeded for context presenter entity ID: https://libraries.umd.edu/pdst-hs/sp<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>10:52:45.141 - DEBUG [edu.internet2.middleware.shibboleth.common.attribute.resolver.provider.ShibbolethAttributeResolver:201] - Resolving principal name from name identifier of format: urn:mace:shibboleth:1.0:nameIdentifier<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>10:52:45.141 - DEBUG [edu.internet2.middleware.shibboleth.common.attribute.resolver.provider.ShibbolethAttributeResolver:222] - Using principal connector shibTransient to resolve principal name.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>10:52:45.141 - WARN [edu.internet2.middleware.shibboleth.idp.profile.saml1.AbstractSAML1ProfileHandler:563] - Error resolving principal name for SAML request from relying party 'https://libraries.umd.edu/pdst-hs/sp'.
