Configure IdP for alternate HTTP and HTTPS ports

Just to be clear, the IdP may well be using port 9443 as configured in 
jetty but what it is advertising in its metadata descriptor at 
http://localhost:9080/idp/profile/Metadata/SAML is indicating that it is 
using port 8443. Thus any attempt by SP to communicate with its 
endpoints will fail due to the wrong port.

Also, it seems like it would be a good thing to include port information 
on the detailed status page at:

http://<host>:<port>/idp/status
