SURFnet has "A-Select enabled" the MS Sharepoint and OWA. It works very
well.

Surely this is/means no Shibbolizing (yet), but it proves that it can be
done for a WebISO system.

You can authenticate using A-Select for these MS products and have a SSO
afterwards. I'm sure our technology/setup might work for Shibb too, but
it needs to be translated to the Shibbworld.

We're trying to get in contact with MS Redmond too, in order to A-Select
enable their MS products in a more structural way. We have close contact
with MS Netherlands for about 1.5 years, but they are more into sales
but try to help us where possible.

If you like I can get you a copy of the technical stuff we (had)
created, after beta it will be on line on the A-Select site.

Kind regards,
Bart
