Public bug reported:

Wrong AssertionConsumerServiceURL is genereated in SAML2-AuthRequest.

Mahara 16.10.3 and CentOS Linux release 7.2

Since 16.10.x release, the SimpleSAMLphp library is included as a
managed dependency with the Mahara codebase.

We noticed that before sending an AuthRequest to an IDP, it generates
wrong AssertionConsumerServiceURL behaving like it is hosted separately
with Mahara which ends up in SSO failure.

In our case, it generates  
https://localhost/simplesaml/module.php/saml/sp/saml2-acs.php/default-sp
instead of https://localhost/auth/saml/sp/saml2-acs.php/default-sp.

We tracked down that it is generated using 'baseurlpath' => 'simplesaml/' 
defined in htdocs/auth/saml/config/config.php
and
$ar->setAssertionConsumerServiceURL(SimpleSAML_Module::getModuleURL('saml/sp/saml2-acs.php/'
 . $this->authId)); defined in 
htdocs/auth/saml/extlib/simplesamlphp/modules/saml/lib/Auth/Source/SP.php line 
189.

As a workaround, we have hacked the SimpleSAMLphp library for generating
correct AssertionConsumerServiceURL which solves this issue.
