Not that I can think of.  And you really shouldn't need to worry about
those too unless you're integrating with an existing SSO system where
you need to change the behavior of the system based on those settings.
By default, as long as your handler truthfully reports if supports
forceAuth and passive auth the IdP will take care of the rest.

You don't have to, there are a couple optional fields you can set
though.  Take a look at the Javadoc on the LoginHandler interface
currently in the head of the REL_2 branch (this is what will ship with
2.1 and what you should be developing against).
