The IdP is very minimal in use of Java server features and is standards
compliant, so if there are issues, they fall into a couple of areas:

- container bugs
- the back channel thing

The latter refers to the ability to handle client TLS authentication on a
port without certificate validation. Doing that requires pluggable support
for trust validation, and usually building the right plugin. That tends to
be unstable across container releases, and is different in every container.
