Is it possible do different authentication based on different SP?

Thanks folks. Looks like there are two ways to achieve it:
1)  - deploy separate login handlers
     - use an AuthnContextClassRef in the request to map to one or the other

2) IdP will always return both Eng and Sales people, the Assertion will
contain some attribute to indicate the group. SP will need to do some
authorization to filter out either Eng or Sales.

Per Scott and Kevin, (2) is a better way since IdP is only suppose to do
authn, it is SP's responsibility to do authz.

Let me know if anything is incorrect.

Thanks,
Yaowen
