Standalone or IIS-fronted Tomcat for the IdP on Windows?

[Chad La Joie]

It's really up to you and your environment.  For me personally, I
would run a servlet container without anything in front of it.  Having
one less thing (a web server) to cause problems and being deeply
familiar with many servlet containers makes that more attractive setup
to me.  But others fine other set ups more appealing.
