Hi Richard,

in fact, there were no code changes to the Shibboleth module between
DSpace 1.8.2 and 3.0, which you can verify using:
git diff dspace-1.8.2 dspace-3.0 --
dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/authenticate/ShibAuthentication.java

There is also documentation about lazy sessions and it includes the
authentication.shib.lazysession.loginurl parameter:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC3x/Authentication+Plugins#AuthenticationPlugins-ConfiguringShibbolethAuthentication(DSpace1.8.1)

If you need to find out the exact mechanism how it works in DSpace,
you can look at the source (the auth modules are very self-contained):
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-3.1/dspace-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/authenticate/ShibAuthentication.java#L476

There is some more documentation about lazy sessions here:
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB/LazySession
