Hi AL,
I've just checked and access via the London School of Economics and
Political Science IdP works fine. So the problem is likely to be in your
set up - the error message indicates the Science Direct SP has a problem
with the certificate used to sign your IdP's messages to it.
Unfortunately, the certificate based error messages are not very
helpful, and I've had this error for various reasons in the past, and in
some cases without a sensible log entry at the SP. Do you get anything
about the rejected response in your IdP logs? (I'm assuming that other
SPs are happy to communicate - otherwise the problem is usually easier
to find, as it's going to be something like using an expired
certificate, or having the certificate listed in the IdP config with an
incorrect file name, or not have permission to read the certificate file.)
Cheers,
Simon
