Has anyone integrated an iPhone application with a Shibboleth Identity Provider? Googling did not come up with anything so I am asking the gurus directly.

If it has not been previously dones, is it feasible to do so?

Nice, but it doesn't work with form-based authentication where do you need to parse the html or present it to the user for interaction. In my case the user needs to iterate over multiple authentication factors, so I can't get over it. Anyway I can translate your sample to C#, my language of choice for iPhone development, and use it as a basis. Thanks

A: 

I successfully implemented using EC's solution as a starting point. The only other thing I'd add is that you really have to pay attention to keeping only one request going at a time. In our implementation the authentication process would get confused between multiple asynchronous requests running concurrently. Using NSOperation to throttle the queue seemed to work great for me.
