Custom Remote User Handler

[Chad La Joie]

You can change path, and it's documented on the website how you do
that.  I still don't understand *why* you think you need to do that,
however.  Changing the path in no way prevents some other SPs from
using that mechanism, nor does it restrict the users who can
authenticate via the mechanism.
