not logging in correctly [#2702249]

Here's my setup: Drupal 8.0.6 with simplesamlphp 1.13.2 and 8.x-3.0-alpha4 simplesamlphp_auth module using Ping federate. When I go to http://mysite/simplesaml click on Authentication tab, and Test configured authentication sources I login and get a list of my attributes. If I then go to http://mysite I am not logged in. I have to click Log in, click Federated login, I'm not prompted for credentials again, and it then logs me in. Seems like simplesamlphp_auth is not working quite right with Drupal 8.0.6. Any ideas?

I also have a Drupal 7.43 site with simplesamlphp 1.13.2 and 7.x-2.0-alpha2 simplesamlphp_auth module using Ping federate and it works the way it should. Test configured authentication sources in simplesaml and log in, then switch to root of my site and I'm logged in.

And I have a Drupal 7.43 site with simplesamlphp 1.14.2 and 7.x-2.0-alpha2 simplesamlphp_auth module using Ping federate and it works the way it should as well.

I have a Drupal 8.06 with simplesamlphp 1.14.2, but I can't get it to work with 8.x-3.0-alpha4 simplesamlphp_auth.

Any ideas for how to make sure I am logging in properly when doing a federated login with Drupal 8.0.6 would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

To clarify what I'm seeing.
On Drupal 7 if I go to http:///siimplesaml/module.php/core/authenticate.php?as=default-sp and login with my federated login then when I go to http:/// I am automatically logged into my Drupal site with my federated login, no further login prompts. This is the way I think it should work.

Here's the problem.
On Drupal 8 if I go to http:///simplesaml/module.php/core/authenticate.php?as=default-sp and login with my federated login then when I go to http:/// I then have to click the Log in link, then click Federated login, it doesn't prompt for credentials again but I have to do those 2 extra steps. Why doesn't it automatically log me in like it does on Drupal 7? Is this how Drupal 8 is supposed to work?
