Thanks, Scott. This is exactly what I need to get unstuck. I was just
saying in ##shibboleth* EDS has two URLs in the "defaultReturn" config
and I had added ":9999" to the first one but not the second one (for
"target"). In addition to the Apache config changes I've described,
the change below to my code is what I needed.

Thanks so much! Sorry for the noise!
