OK, I fixed one thing, which was making sure that all params were set 
correctly in both the AAServlet and HandleServlet sections of 
shibb/WEB-INF/web.xml.  I suggest the deploy doc be more assertive about 
pointing out that there are two sections and you have to set params in 
each of them, as other people might miss that like I did.

But even after doing that and restarting I got the error page, and also 
the tomcat line:

  HandleException: Server configuration denies access to data source

again, though it doesn't seem to appear on every failed access.  So I 
guess that must be it complaining about not being able to write to the 
database.  Indeed the HandleService table in the shib database is empty.

I'm thinking maybe the JDBC driver isn't installed right?  The deploy doc 
says:

  1. A MySQL database needs to be implemented along with a JDBC driver for
  use by the AA.  One available driver is
  MM.MySQL(http://mmmysql.sourceforge.net/).  The driver selected should
  be unpacked and the .jar file should be moved to
  /usr/local/tomcat/lib/apps/.

and I did that:

-rw-r--r--    1 root   root   124786 Apr 25 18:41 mm.mysql-2.0.13-bin.jar

but maybe there's more to it?
