One quick, dirty, simple-ish  and quick win for a "shibbolized" XMPP 
client  was to use Jeti <http://jeti.sourceforge.net> and  java
webstart. It goes something like this

1) create a SP which  once  a user is authenticated  creates a one-time
password and inserts it into the xmpp server database for that user and
downloads to the user a modified JNLP file with the one time password
and JID in it to the user.
2) modify the jeti application to get the one time password and JID from
the JNLP file and start up jeti pre-configured for the user with JID,
password (and other preferences?)
