Error: "2004-08-04 16:37:16,378 [ExecuteThread: '33' for queue: 'default'] FATAL - exception: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-datatype-valid.1.2.1: '10.56.25.5.1091651810298' is not a valid value for 'NCName'" in RSA Federated Identity Manager (FIM) 2.5
Error 500 - Internal Server Error

The server encountered the following unexpected condition:  Error in RSA Federated Identity Manager:  Error encountered in Relying Party servlet com.rdsa.csf.common.exceptionbase.CsfApplicationException:  Error in Relying Party while processing Asserting Party response: ; nested exception is: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: cvc-data-type-valid.1.2.1: '10.56.25.5.1091651810298' is not a valid value for 'NCName'.
Cause
The "invalid" value mentioned above was equal to the value set in the "ResponseID" field. This value cannot start with a digit, and hence does not adhere to the SAML specification.
Resolution
The value for ResponseID must following the specifications as described in the below URL for NCName:

http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xml-names-19990114/NT-NCName


In this particular case, a hot fix was offered from Netegrity Siteminder, which was the AP in this case, that addressed this issue.
