How are you trying to get those to display?
The IDP has no web UI you access first and outside of trying to log in
to a service, so ordinarily you'd only see the login form when trying
to access an SP.
With JSP you could get the IDP to display the (non-working) form by
accessing e.g. /idp/login.jsp
Not sure whether or how you'd do that with Velocity, but that's not
the inteded way to see those anyway.
