If you're seeing the SP redirect and establish a session, then it's not
being bypassed, so there's no guesswork involved. If a fresh access
doesn't redirect away, then it definitely isn't running. If it does, then
it is, and the headers are set.

I assume the normal way just works, it certainly has for others.

No.
