DataProvider definitely sounds like the right approach to me.  This is
pretty much it's main use case: running a test multiple times over
different sets of input data.

Fwiw, I used that in some security-related tests in OpenSAML to run
tests e.g. with BC loaded and unloaded, things like that.

Outside of Shib, I've also used it in some Selenium integration and
load-testing use cases for our GU LMS, to pass in some of the same data
as you are, like browser/version/OS, as well as test different users
authenticated with different credentials.
