Problems getting a new Idp talking to testshib

Many thanks Nate.

Using Live Headers I see the original request with the query
parameter. This gets redirected to /idp/AuthEngine.  Then it gets
redirected to /idp/Authn/RemoteUser.  Then back to
/idp/profile/SAML2/Redirect/SSO (with no query parameter).  I thought
I was following the wiki correctly, and that I could use testshib
without setting up an authentication mechanism, but maybe I was
mistaken or missed a step.  I'll start digging through the wiki some
more.

Thanks!
Brad
