[Koha] Shibboleth-only authentication

We are testing Koha 20.11.04 and are interested in the new
Shibboleth-only authentication feature. I have set "staffShibOnly" to
"Don't allow staff to login by means other than shibboleth."
If I have already logged in to another Shibboleth site, when I visit the
Koha staff client, I'm automatically logged in without getting a login
prompt. I suspect that this is the intended behavior, but all of our
other Shib-enabled campus services have a login link. More problematic
is the fact that on logging out of the staff client, it simply logs me
in again.
Does anyone have any experience with this new feature? I'm wondering how
to avoid automatic login without having to click a login link, and how
to log out without having it log me in again.
I suppose an alternative would be not to use the "staffShibOnly" setting
and instead alter the login page template to remove the local login section.
Thanks for any advice.
