Switching between multiple login handlers cause first context to be sticky in Shib-Authentication-Method 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: SIDP-519
                 URL: https://issues.shibboleth.net/jira/browse/SIDP-519
             Project: Shibboleth IdP 2 - Java
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Standard (Standard bug, may impact functionality but does not represent a security vulnerability )
          Components: Authentication
    Affects Versions: 2.3.3, 2.3.2
         Environment: Linux 2.6.35-30-server, 64-bit. OpenJDK 1.6.0_20, tomcat 6.0.32

IdP extensions: Multi Factor Login Handler, MongoDB connector
            Reporter: Stefan
            Assignee: Chad La Joie


I have two login handlers, one is UserPassword and the other is MultiFactor (2FA). The problem I have is that the first authn context loaded is the one that seem to get sticky when Shib-Authentication-Method attribute is released to the SP.

Example:
The SP request MultiFactor handler but the user decide to manually override it by editing the URL from /MultiFactor to /UserPassword and then completes the login using one factor. Now I expect to be Shib-Authentication-Method = urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:ac:classes:PasswordProtectedTransport, but instead it's Shib-Authentication-Method = urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:2.0:ac:classes:Token. And vice versa if the SP request UserPassword and the user change it to MultiFactor.

I have tried requesting a login handler from the SP or letting the IdP choose a default login handler both with same result.
