overridding admin interface beans/flows

The MVC beans are in a child context dedicated to the dispatcher servlet in web.xml, where you'll find the additional hook:

classpath*:/META-INF/net/shibboleth/idp/mvc/postconfig.xml

i.e. change your postconfig location (or add a second one).

Everything is possible, very little is simple unfortunately.

Nobody's really done this, so there's no recipe written up. It would be a nice contribution if you summarized this in a How-To, you could just craft it as "how to do a custom admin flow".
