Shibboleth Developers

[David G Mills <>]

Thank you for your replies Scott.

I feared something like this might be the case. Instead I'm trying to take 
the approach of creating my own LoginModule for Tomcat, that can go via 
RADIUS. This should then proceed normally with the authentication 
assertion process as it's maintained within the container and within the 
initial IdP process, I hope. =)

Dave.
