Shibboleth client certificate

After looking at the config for some time, I think I've figured it out.  Fixed it using Proxypass to pass requests to /idp to AJP.  

What's the usefulness of SOAP endpoints (or, "how does it work with IdP/SP communication")?

No browser should be using non-default ports. How you do it all is up to
you. If you want Apache, proxy 443 with AJP. If you don't, turn it off.

Personally I think it's confusing to have two web servers facing out, but
if you need Apache on 443 and prefer the advantage of avoiding the mod_ssl
hassles with client cert handling, there's an argument to doing that. And
there's the argument that if you don't need SOAP, don't offer it anyway.
