SHIBBOLETH SP - Shibboleth handler invoked at an unconfigured location - Shibboleth.sso/Session/

Found the answer:

The problem was actually with the way Apache is configured. It was rewriting urls to add a / at the end of each url. so https://mysite/Shibboleth.sso/Session became https://mysite/Shibboleth.sso/Session/. It is always the minor things!

Since the Apache configuration is necessary for another portion of the project, I changed the Location attribute to add a slash at the end and it worked perfectly! HT- Scott Cantor on [email protected] mailing list!

    I am trying to get shibboleth configured. When I go to https://mysite/secure/index.php, it works properly, I can authenticate, etc. but when I go to https://mysite/Shibboleth.sso/Status (or any other https://mysite/Shibboleth.sso/*) I get the following message:

    shibsp::ConfigurationException

    The system encountered an error at Mon Jul 10 12:06:32 2017

    To report this problem, please contact the site administrator at root@localhost.

    Please include the following message in any email:

    shibsp::ConfigurationException at (https://mysite/Shibboleth.sso/Session/)

    Shibboleth handler invoked at an unconfigured location.

    My shibboleth2.xml is as follows (comments removed for brevity):

    <SPConfig xmlns="urn:mace:shibboleth:2.0:native:sp:config" xmlns:md="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:metadata" clockSkew="1800">
     <ApplicationDefaults entityID="https://mysite/shibboleth" REMOTE_USER="eppn">
         <Sessions lifetime="28800" timeout="3600" checkAddress="false" relayState="ss:mem" handlerSSL="true" cookieProps="https">
             <SSO entityID="https://idp.testshib.org/idp/shibboleth">
                 SAML2 SAML1

         </Sessions>
         <Errors supportContact="root@localhost" logoLocation="/shibboleth-sp/logo.jpg" styleSheet="/shibboleth-sp/main.css"/>
         <MetadataProvider type="XML" uri="http://www.testshib.org/metadata/testshib-providers.xml" backingFilePath="testshib-two-idp-metadata.xml" reloadInterval="180000" />
         <AttributeExtractor type="XML" validate="true" path="attribute-map.xml"/>
         <AttributeResolver type="Query" subjectMatch="true"/>
         <AttributeFilter type="XML" validate="true" path="attribute-policy.xml"/>
         <CredentialResolver type="File" key="my_key" certificate="my_cert" extractNames="false"/>
     </ApplicationDefaults>
     <SecurityPolicyProvider type="XML" validate="true" path="security-policy.xml"/>
     <ProtocolProvider type="XML" validate="true" reloadChanges="false" path="protocols.xml"/>
    </SPConfig>
    

    I have examined every config file I can find, every setting I can think of. I turned on debug mode for native.logger and shibd.logger but not found anything.

    What is wrong? or where should I look?
