Either of those would do it. /Shibboleth.sso/Foo where Foo isn't a defined
handler location will result in an error. The only page that generally
matters is the sessionError template, and anything else will probably be a
copy/tweak of that anyway.

I didn't think about it, people get errors enough without me helping. You
can trigger any number of them for testing, just pull the metadata or mess
with it. But if it's a live system, the Foo trick is the easiest.
