This is caused by a bug in Unity, unfortunately. Unity doesn't accept 
SAML authN request without the AssertionConsumerServiceURL attribute. 
This attribute is not mandatory in SAML so Unity should happily accept 
such case.

Fixing the request validator (and directly this bug) will be trivial, 
but I will have to verify whether the rest of the stack behaves 
correctly when this attribute is not set (what means that either 
metadata default should be used or AssertionConsumerServiceIndex picking 
endpoint from metadata).

I've opened a ticket to track this problem.

Best,
Krzysztof
