Scott already mentioned the easiest way to go for user/pass is to use the
RemoteUser LoginHandler then protect a location with a .htpassword file
via apache.. something like that anyway. (this gets you entirely out of
the JASS area)

Your login is completely independent of your attribute resolution
phase. You can pull attributes from anywhere .. or make them up at the
IdP
