It ended up being that there were multiple certificates with the same name just 
expired. Once I delete all but the current one, it worked.

Thanks,

Hi Beth. Some quick googling (which I'm sure you've done as well) suggests your 
IIS user either lacks permission to read the certificate private key, or that 
your private key has gone missing.

It sounds like the CosignModule is redirecting you to login, and then getting 
the error after you authenticate. Is that correct?

Can you run DebugView to capture what the CosignModule is doing when you run 
into the problem? It looks to me like PSU has good documentation on how to get 
DebugView running:

http://ait.its.psu.edu/services/identity-access-management/identity/webaccess/cosignmodule-3x-iis-7.html

Please send the DebugView output to me off list.
