Gotcha. That makes sense. Thanks much!

I guess I was thrown off by the fact that that block existed in the
apache22.config example config that comes with Shibboleth.

#
# Ensures handler will be accessible.
#
<Location /Shibboleth.sso>
  Satisfy Any
  Allow from all
</Location>

Do you think that's just an error or is that required when you start
protecting resources that are not at the root as they do in that example
config:

#
# Configure the module for content.
#
# You MUST enable AuthType shibboleth for the module to process
# any requests, and there MUST be a require command as well. To
# enable Shibboleth but not specify any session/access requirements
# use "require shibboleth".
#
<Location /secure>
  AuthType shibboleth
  ShibRequestSetting requireSession 1
  require valid-user
</Location>
