Chaining SessionInitiators

[Christopher Bland]

Hello All,

I have what is probably a beginner question about SP SessionInitators.  
Previously I have only dealt with SPs using a single IDP.  I have always 
provided Metadata for development and production IDPs but have not 
simultaneously used sessions from both.  It seems that all I have to do 
is within a <SessionInitiator type="Chaining"> tag have a series of 
individual SessionInitiator tags specifying each IDP available for 
authentication.

What's unclear to me is the process of associating a user with an IDP.  
I get that IDPs are processed in series but does the SessionInitiator 
only check for existing session and sends users to the default or DS 
session initiator if it doesn't find previous session?

-Chris
