Question

I'm trying to configure ADFS 3.0 and SAML 2.0. Currently, I get this error whenever I restart shibd and httpd.

How do I remove those fed errors?

I don't know if you had find the solution, but I've just encountered the same situation, and I have a workaround : In your shibboleth2.xml file, change the "validate" parameter to "false", like this :

<MetadataProvider type="XML" validate="false" file="/etc/shibboleth/FederationMetadata.xml"/>

In my case, I'm able to be redirected on the login page of the Idp, and send back to my application.

In ADFS, these errors are coming from the ADFS Endpoints.

2016-11-07 12:49:08 ERROR XMLTooling.ParserPool : error on line 1, column 3893, message: no declaration found for element 'fed:ClaimTypesRequested'
2016-11-07 12:49:08 ERROR XMLTooling.ParserPool : error on line 1, column 24931, message: no declaration found for element 'fed:TargetScopes'
2016-11-07 12:49:08 ERROR XMLTooling.ParserPool : error on line 1, column 26031, message: no declaration found for element 'fed:ApplicationServiceEndpoint'
2016-11-07 12:49:08 ERROR XMLTooling.ParserPool : error on line 1, column 26285, message: no declaration found for element 'fed:PassiveRequestorEndpoint'

So, I just had to disable the unused Endpoints in ADFS Management > Service > Endpoints. Then, it removed the errors afterwards.
