Transitioning from an old to new IdP instance

[coupons at sccoast.net]

What I actually did was a fresh install of Shib 5.x on our dev server 
got it running good and working with all SP's, no errors.

Next I copied all the files from dev server over to our new prod server 
and updated all 'conf' files, replacing dev settings with prod settings.

Finally I was going to copy over the 'credentials' - signing/encryption 
certs/keys from our old Shib 3.x to the new Shib 5.x and hoping that 
would be good to go.

Basically everything is new except for existing SP metadata files and 
sign/encrypt credentials. These steps seem like they would work ok.
