Some stuff that a lot of installers run into:

  • IdPWontStart: The IdP won't start up (you get a 404 or Resource not Available from Tomcat)
  • SPWontProtect: The SP just ignores you and lets requests pass on through
  • SPEmptyHeaders: The SP doesn't appear to be exporting the attributes as expected
  • TomcatOutOfMemoryError: The IdP 1.3 seems to produce a memory overhead and Tomcats hangs up with an Out of Memory exception.
