SAML 1.x Artifact Profile Single Sign-On Failing

Symptom:

In an environment in which single sign-on with the SAML 1.x artifact profile is configured, the consumer site fails to send SAML request messages to the producer. Error messages similar to the following appear in the Federation Web Service log file:

May 23, 2006 4:20:44.234 PM[28349544:E] Dispatcher object thrown unknown exception while processing the request message. Message: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect.
May 23, 2006 4:20:44.234 PM[28349544:E] Exception caught. Message: com.netegrity.affiliateminder.webservices.m: Exception occurred while message dispatcher(srca) object trying to send SOAP request message to the SAML producer.

Solution:

Ensure that the Web server hosting the Assertion Retrieval Service is running with a configured SSL port.
