He explained that to me in the meantime in a private message. He wants 
to be able to access the login page without shibboleth auth, so that 
users have the option of keying in their login names & passwords 
directly to OC. This gives you the option of using LDAP or the internal 
auth of OC as well, not just shibboleth.

This is the case by the way with the current user_saml app as well: you 
can have shibboleth auth, you can have LDAP auth and local users as 
well. If you configure the LDAP in OC that also feeds shibboleth, the 
users can be authenticated both ways. It is nice to have this 
flexibility. The price you pay: local users (who are not in LDAP) will 
be confused why they cannot use shibboleth auth too.
