Hello,

does anyone here have experience with handling Shibboleth 2
authentification from the side of a service provider and can provide
some hints how it is done? [My application uses Hunchentoot for
providing some services like handling of exercise and exam scores to
students, and might use the central university authentification that
way.]

Thank you,
Nicolas

Doesn't shibboleth just use SAML for this?

The University of Queensland (Australia) released some open source
libraries that could be used to 'shibbolise' applications a couple of
years ago. From memory, they are in Java and python. Maybe they can give
you a better idea.
