Shibboleth SP and cPanel

[Yavor Yanakiev]

My initial setup was without RequestMap but when it failed I put it into the SP configuration 
with assumption that this will fix the virtual host issue if the related configuration is a 
dynamically generated.  

Since it's a hosted environment I have very little control over the Apache configuration. 
The provider was responsive enough and installed the Shibboleth SP RPM on their server 
and the SP config files I sent to them, and also gave me the log Shib files.
