Hi,
I've just had a look at the metadata, and all three Dreamspark-related
entities have only SAML1 endpoints. Microsoft or 9 Star Research, Inc.
really should get in touch with us with new metadata - sadly, they're
not the only organisation to think they can simply alter their
configuration at their end and not actually tell anyone and still expect
it to work.
I'll drop them a "reminder".
Cheers
Steve
