Symptoms

 After configuring OAM as a SAML federated Identity Provider (IdP), the user authentication fails on OAM with a System Error after the Service Provider (SP) submits the authentication request to OAM without prompting the user for credentials.  No errors are apparent in the OAM diagnostic log.

When federation trace (see note 2463852.1) is enabled, a message similar to the following can be seen in the diagnostic log when federation is attempted:

Where the <AUTHENTICATION_SCHEME_NAME> is the name of an authentication scheme that does not exist in the OAM policy configuration.
