I can't be on the call, so I'll give my two cents here. A deployer
should be advised to always use TestShib, even if the goal is a
bilateral deployment. In that case the sequence should be:

1. Deploy the IdP first. Test the IdP against the shib-enabled
TestShib service.
2. Shib-enable an instance of the portal (or whatever). Test this
instance against the TestShib IdP.
3. Using the SAML metadata files provided by TestShib, configure a
bilateral relationship between the IdP and the shib-enabled portal
instance. Test this bilateral deployment locally, separate from
TestShib.

This is what we will recommend to a TeraGrid Science Gateway, if and
when the issue arises.

TestShib is awesome, by the way :-)
