Shibboleth SP-Init Links in Word Docs don't open

Version Affected:  All

Description:  

Shibboleth SP-Init Links in Word Docs don't open

When users click the link in the Word doc, they get a blank page. 

Cause:  

Word uses a browser that cannot handle SP init by redirect

Resolution:  

1. By default, Shibboleth uses SP Initiated by Redirect, change the outgoingBindings-setting on the SessionInitiator to SP Initiated by Post

2. In the SecureAuth Admin Console, edit the Post Auth of the realm so it expects SP initiated by Post. 

Special Considerations (optional as needed):
