Scott Cantor resolved SSPCPP-445.
---------------------------------

       Resolution: Fixed
    Fix Version/s: 2.5

http://svn.shibboleth.net/view/cpp-sp?rev=3692&view=rev

Ok, unchained initiators of only types Shib1, SAML2, and ADFS now generate the metadata. Chains always do on the assumption that the chain is actually something reasonable, and I can't tell in any case.

> If you have a bare "WAYF" type SessionInitiator in shibboleth2.xml as follows:
>    <SessionInitiator id="foo" Location="/foo" acsIndex="5"
>       URL="...whatever..."/>
> Then the automatically generated metadata will include something like this:
>    <init:RequestInitiator xmlns:init="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:profiles:SSO:request-init"
>       Binding="urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:profiles:SSO:request-init"
>       Location="https://sh2testsp1.iay.org.uk/Shibboleth.sso/foo"/>
> However, actually sending a session initiation message to that location results in a configuration error:
> shibsp::ConfigurationException at (https://sh2testsp1.iay.org.uk/Shibboleth.sso/foo)
> Configured Shibboleth handler failed to process the request.
> It would be better only to generate endpoints with that binding if the configured session initiator supported it.
