Running your own IdP?

[Brendan O'Connor]

Using the PIP that is now part of Heraldry, we were able to use it here 
at Johns Hopkins to create an LDAP-linked IDP. Basically, you just set 
it up and then tell it to check with LDAP before doing what you want to 
protect (we just did account creation, but you might want it for every 
assertion).

PIP's written in great Ruby, so it took about four lines, IIRC, to make 
this change; I'm sure you can figure it out fairly quickly, but if you'd 
like help, or a copy of our changes, you can eMail me offlist.
