No.. generally an Identity Provider is not the place for your users to be doing
account maintenance - if that is what your after / asking.

With that in mind.. if you design your own LoginHandler you can pretty much do 
what ever you wish with the user: call other services, answer other questsions
etc.. before passing back to the next step in the IdP.

Again account maintenance is not usually done at the IdP.
