Description
SimplSAMLphp, when used as a proxy, does not properly propagate SLO requests from upstream Identity Providers. Received on it's SP endpoint they will simply terminate the SP session.
So in a given setup:

A SLO Request from a Our SP will be propagated to the Their SPs, but a SLO Request from a Their SP will not be propagated to the Our SPs.

Research direction
Start by tracing how an SLO request received on the SP endpoint is handled when SimpleSAMLphp acts as a proxy, using the federation diagram and linked discussion for the expected flow. Done means an SLO request from an upstream IdP is propagated to the downstream IdP rather than only terminating the local SP session.
