Shibboleth + Facebook

Question

Hi,

I am developing a Facebook application to be used in a university (which already has a Shibboleth idProvider and many serviceProviders running). How do I integrate shibboleth into facebook?

This is what I want to do: - For someone who is NOT a student, he can only see/use the public data/services. - For students, he can login using his University credentials (authenticated against university idProvider) and then use the private services.

Any pointers of how to achieve this?

Many thanks Don

Hi Dom, This is similar to something I'm interested in doing. I want to expose are uni's services as secured web services, then call that web service from a facebook app, hooking into our (shib) identity provider. Bet very interested to know how you got on with your project. Thanks Robin
