Just FYI, you can do all that with the SP itself too. There are extra
SessionInitiator handlers that let you read the cookie to dispatch on, or
display a Form to the user. Not much use, but they're there and documented.

That's about the only reason nowadays to create a SessionInitiator chain
by hand like the old config used.
