      Description

      When using the "test settings" link to test the Shibboleth plugin, if it isn't configured correctly the link to the README file with further instructions on how to set up Shibboleth authentication is incorrect: it goes to /auth/README instead of /auth/shibboleth/README

      To reproduce:

      1. enable auth_shibboleth
      2. click the "test settings" link beside it
      3. in the error message, click the README link
      4. note that this README doesn't mention Shibboleth
