Ok, looks like a problem with basic auth.

My connector definition:
     <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
                connectionTimeout="20000"
                redirectPort="8443"
                 scheme = "https"
                 proxyPort = "443"/>

tcpdumps on the IdP shows it redirecting the SP to port 8443.  basic 
auth was configured with a transport-guarantee of 'CONFIDENTIAL' which 
was forcing this redirect.  If I set transport-guarantee to 'NONE' then 
ECP works.

Any concerns with leaving transport-guarantee as 'NONE'?
