I believe there's quite a few schools running a Shib-enabled BB. At 
last summer's BB-World meeting there was a very well attended BOF on 
this topic (with lots of people dialed in). I've attached the slides 
from that session; some of the slides are a cookbook describing how 
to do this.

There's been some thinking about how to do provisioning (Brent Putman 
wrote up some notes) but I don't think the code has been implemented.
