Also note that you could chose to not do this at all, and let the
subject pick her IDP in an IDP discovery service of some sort.  That
way the access URL is the same for everyone, saving you manual setup
(part or all of it, if you don't do authorization in the webserver),
save IDPs from communicating a specifice access URL to their subjects,
and save subjects from having to know/remember that, instead they just
access the service at a well-known URL.
It all depends, of course.
