Use a specific IDP for a given resource -- mod_shib not doing as we're telling it

You were correct. What I didn't know was that the SP admin had redirected, inside his application, /uPortal/Login to /Shibboleth.sso/Login -- lazy session initiation. Mixing it with mod_shib settings, which could have done the same job technically, was muddying the waters.

My apologies for not doing all the detective work I should have done before asking on this list.

It is that simple, so his setting is not being applied.

You can't do that, no.

Some other Apache settings are taking precedence probably.
