programmatic flip between SP-protected / unprotected endpoints

Use Apache?

I don't know of a way to tie in e.g. web.config to Shibboleth.  I can think
of two "reasonable" options:

A)  Protect pages by default, but passively.  If a page owner wants to flip
to active protection, the web resource itself would need to trigger
authentication and enforce rules on its own.
B)  Build a fancy interface for the XML Request Mapper, which can load its
contents from an external file or URI.  You could probably engineer some
system that allowed authenticated users to change the content settings for
their own URLs.  If it's just a boolean for protected or not, it should be
relatively straightforward to reflect that preference in a generated XML
file.
