Hi John, Since it sounds like you've activated *both* Password and Shibboleth authentication, then you will see a page that asks you which authentication method you wish to use. That's normal behavior. That page is only skipped over if you have a single authentication plugin enabled.
As for DSpace + Shibboleth, DSpace does not autoconfigure your Shibboleth backend. You will need to configure the Shibboleth connection info in the [dspace]/config/modules/authentication-shibboleth.cfg file. Much more info on that is in the Shibboleth Plugin docs at https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Authentication+Plugins#AuthenticationPlugins-ShibbolethAuthentication To answer your other questions, I think most of that information can be found in the "Configuration Shibboleth Authentication" section here: section: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC5x/Authentication+Plugins#AuthenticationPlugins-ConfiguringShibbolethAuthentication Regarding the IdP question, here's a key point from the documentation: "In the Shibboleth terminology DSpace is a Service Provider which receives authentication information and then based upon that provides a service to the user. To use Shibboleth, DSpace *requires *that you use Apache installed with the mod_shib module acting as a proxy for all HTTP requests for your servlet container (typically Tomcat). DSpace will receive authentication information from the mod_shib module through HTTP headers." Hopefully that'll help clarify things. Let us know if you have further questions.
