</span>To get the error you cannot have the flow enabled, that's pretty much it. You simply cannot have included it as one of the flows identified in the idp.authn.flows property. You enabled it in the idp.intial-authn.flows property, but not the main one.<br>
<br>
I told you already: stop using the initial-authn feature and you should be fine. Using it with X.509 doesn't make any sense, so you don't need to do what you're doing.<br>

<br>
</span>I'm aware it can't store the session, and the log indicates the reason is that the flow isn't enabled.<br>

<br>
</span>There is no MCB in V3.<br>
<br>
The error means the flow is not enabled. End of story.<br>
