The IdP has a status handler, but in V2 the access control on it is inside
web.xml. I changed that in V3 by turning it into a webflow, but there's
still a requirement to supply the ACL, and we just don't have any way to
do that dynamically right now unless we build some kind of service layer
to supply the access rules.

Of course, one can usually do this in the web server, but that's also not
often dymamic unless Apache is used, but maybe that's good enough.
