Is it possible do different authentication based on different SP?

I confirm that direction.
Especially for one function: auto-provisioning.
SPs in the cloud allow the creation "on the fly" of user account based on
the SAML assertion.
But, when one account means one license, and then money, it is interesting
to filter user that are able to connect to this particular SP.

I do not know much about Shibboleth IdP but I'm pretty sure it is possible
to insert some filtering/authz logic in the pipeline, based on some
attributes for instance.
