OpenSAML dependency on Velocity breaks application

Well, it's not anything to do with the project.  It's just the nature
of federated identity management (whether SAML, OpenID, or whatever
proprietary thing Google and Facebook are using today).

In that environment there are two things that can happen at login
time.  Either you have an account with an identity provider that is
accepted by the application you're attempting to login in to (the list
you see is all the ones we currently accept) or you don't.  If you
don't, then you need to create one.  In our case, ProtectedNetwork
happens to be an identity provider that allows anyone to register a
new account.
