Description

Within the topology XML file, the providers include an enabled element. If you include multiple providers with the same role the generated gateway.xml file might not include the enabled providers.

In my specific example, I had two authentication providers. The first of which was disabled and the second was enabled. The second provider was ignored yielding no authentication provider in the gateway.xml and then subsequent use of the identity provider failed with a missing Subject.
