Shibboleth Developers

[Walter Hoehn <>]

I'd love for the A-Select guys to set me straight on this, but  my 
interpretation of the descriptions I've seen so far is that this 
functionality is implemented by caching passwords at the IdP, sending 
passwords as attributes to the SP, and then delivering the passwords to 
the OWA login dll.  Is that right?  I imagine that many users will not 
see regard this as a general purpose solution.
