I am attempting to use Shibboleth SP (64-bit on Windows Server 2008 R2) to authenticate with ADFS 2.0 (64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2).
When I browse to the Shibboleth protected site, I get a 500 error with the following in the Shibboleth native_warn log:
2014-12-08 14:44:28 ERROR Shibboleth.Listener [2648] isapi_shib: remoted message returned an error: Unable to locate metadata for identity provider (https://adfs.int.example.com/adfs/ls/)

2014-12-08 14:44:30 ERROR Shibboleth.ISAPI [2648] isapi_shib: Unable to locate metadata for identity provider (https://adfs.int.example/adfs/ls/)
In the native log, it shows that the Metadata has been loaded:

You MUST supply an effectively unique handlerURL value for each of your applications.
The value defaults to /Shibboleth.sso, and should be a relative path, with the SP computing
a relative value based on the virtual host. Using handlerSSL="true", the default, will force
the protocol to be https. You should also set cookieProps to "https" for SSL-only sites.
Note that while we default checkAddress to "false", this has a negative impact on the
security of your site. Stealing sessions via cookie theft is much easier with this disabled.

I've tried loading a local metadata file and I have the same results. I've also commented out both types of metadata lines, and I get the following error in the native_warn log so it seems that the metadata was actually being loaded:
2014-12-08 14:57:31 ERROR Shibboleth.Listener [2648] isapi_shib: remoted message returned an error: No MetadataProvider available.
2014-12-08 14:57:31 ERROR Shibboleth.ISAPI [2648] isapi_shib: No MetadataProvider available.
At this point, I am not sure if there is an issue with the metadata that's provided by ADFS 2.0.
I can't paste it all here (due to a character limit). Is there a certain section that I should be checking?

You got the identifier uri wrong. https://adfs.int.example.com/adfs/ls/" is the endpoint. Not the identifier.
Identifier is http://adfs.int.example.com/adfs/services/trust" by default. Note its not https. But this can be changed by an admin. I don't know if you have.
You can use get-adfsproperties cmdlet or the AD FS management console to view existing identifier.
Else read the https://adfs.int.example.com/FederationMetadata/2007-06/FederationMetadata.xml metadata file to see identifier. It mentions entityID in it.
Identifier is case sensitive and must be typed exactly as its used by AD FS.
Change the
to something like below once you figure out the identifier in use
