[Catalyst] Catalyst and Shibboleth authentication

[Kirby Krueger]

Greetings,

I'm writing a new web application, and have decided to jump into  
Catalyst (because I am smart.)

One thing that Catalyst seems to do well is have a good mechanism for  
plugging in standard approaches to things.  Here at the University of  
Washington, we use a project called 'Shibboleth' for authentication: http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/

Has anyone worked with this in conjunction with Catalyst yet?  I  
didn't see anything in Authentication::Credential::* yet, and it seems  
like that would be where it would go.

If not, I suppose I'll have to write it, and this seems like an  
obvious candidate to give back.  (One plus of working for a  
University, they really don't mind the whole Open Source thing!)  Any  
tips beyond 'read a few other Authentication::Credential modules and  
stick to the same standards' would be appreciated.  (But I'm still  
hoping someone else already has done it and just didn't think anyone  
else would care.)

Thanks in advance,

Kirby
