Hi Chad:

Me bad - they haven't logged into Shibboleth IdP per say at this stage.

They have a session on the tomcat, I initiate this if login
name/password enetered is correct - I need the session, so that the
info page that gives details on why they need to update their password
can be seen by them - only after they click on link on the info page
are they redirected off to another site (non-Shib). It is this session
that persists and can be retrieved by hitting the browser back-button
(after user redirected off-site)

Only if they don't have to update password, or choose not to update
password, are they 'logged-in' to the IdP. (this part is regular Shibb
workflow))
