I think you're missing PHP's mcrypt module. On a Debian or Ubuntu system: apt-
get install php5-mcrypt and restart Apache. Probably similar on other
distributions. The PHP manual has instructions on how to enable that module.

Did you install PHP mcrypt extension to the new server, too?

Thanks Thijst.
Same, here... I spend hours trying to figure it out and you can find out what is the problem only by applying DEBUG Logging in simpleSamlPHP.
So, If you ever have a problem with a blank page (/simplesaml/module.php/saml/sp/saml2-acs.php/default-sp) that's most likely missing library
In this case mcrypt plugin

Thanks again

Marcin

Mcrypt is installed and the problem is fixed. Guess I did have mcrypt installed on the old server.

Thanks for the help!

@Thijs & Tomi,

I don't believe I had mcrypt installed on the old server and it worked fine then, but maybe I'm mistaken. We've moved to a server where we actually have less control of so I've asked the administrator to install mcrypt anyway to see if that indeed solves the problem.

The documentation states that the mcrypt module is optional. In what circumstances is it necessary to have it installed?

I'm guessing something's wrong with decrypting the incoming message from the IdP but I can't figure out what it is. I've moved the certificates from the old server to the new server.

What could've changed when moving to the new server? How do I solve this?

Sincerely,

Dennis

By all means, please: if you ever have a blank page, just check your web
server's error logs for an error message describing the problem, which will
most certainly be there.
