Will-
 My current use case is actually just for the Authentication piece at this point, so it will at least be a start. I can worry about attributes later. Let me know when you have stuff to test out, and I'll do what I can.

Long term, yeah this is exactly the kind of use case we're looking to support... especially with campuses that already have Shibboleth deployed.  While we're looking to release some functioning code for folks to toy with in the next couple of weeks, I don't think it will suit your needs just yet.  Specifically, these early versions won't support attributes.  (The library supports attributes just fine, but we ran into problems on the Shibboleth side).

I suspect he's far enough along that you can probably use some of the beta code and provide useful feedback.  And you know that anything's possible with the Shibboleth swiss army knife. ;D
