[ipac] HIP and single sign on/shibboleth

[Jonathan Rochkind]

Yeah, that's along the lines I was thinking. Can you provide me with 
more information about how you are doing that with your university 
portal?  I should be able to use the same techniques, and would love to 
learn from your experience instead of inventing that wheel myself (and 
trying to reverse-engineer myself).  Could you provide more info, either 
on list, or privately to me, or in your blog or something?  Enough info 
for me to copy you easily?  Would _really_ appreciate it.
