Gotcha. I just was trying to understand if you had configured the SP yet,
etc. Answer would be no. So you need to basically work through the deploy
guides. Or alternatively start with the example files and adjust them for
your hostnames and information.

I mean don't protect a Shibboleth origin with a Shibboleth target hardwired
to use that origin. That's a loop.

The default files that come with it. This software project is in a state at
which the comments in the files are by far the most specific material.

If you haven't read the deploy guides, then you need to start there though.
