We are testing an IdP and Sp on our system. When I place the IdP on my local machine, it works fine. Once I placed it into Windows Server 2008 we receive an error on the Default.aspx page when I click the “SSO to the Service Provider”, this button click calls the SAMLIdentityProvider.InitiateSSO method.
Has anyone encountered this or have any light they can shed on this issue. The server has all the latest updates (see below)
