SP-Initated SAML redirects to webtop?

I have a policy setup with 2 SAML resources. IDP-Initiated connections for both work fine. SP-Initiated however is giving me a headache.   The first resource is working properly with SP-Initiated ...

Hard to say, but most likely there is a mismatch on the SAML configuration side somewhere - maybe SP, maybe the IDP.

 

For starters, since you say that you have two SPs, I suggest performing HTTPWatch or similar and checking if the URLs that SPs use to initiate the connection to the IDP are identical - if not, you might have a configuration mismatch on the SP side.

 

Start by checking that first. You can also enable SSO debug log and see if there are any notices/errors reported there

Thanks for your feedback. I have used HTTPWatch and I am getting completely different readings from both resources. For resource1, the login process appears to POST to https://login.company.com/saml/idp/profile/redirectorpost/sso. For resource2, the login process appears to POST to http://login.company.com/my.policy. However, I am not familiar enough with SAML to know if this is wrong, or just another way to work it.
