Now, for some time I've been telling people that in theory Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) and and Shibboleth should interoperate.  The difficulty I have had in our UK island nation is finding evidence of this in action.

Therefore, we are seeking to build a lab environment in the Microsoft office with some external support from the education sector and others to actually demonstrate that it really works.  The output from this should be some "how to" documentation and some knowledge share in a couple of workshops throughout the UK plus some Live Meeting content for general playback.

One of my colleagues has kindly send me this link which seems to indicate that someone has actually done this for real.

It certainly looks like some good directions to making the integration happen.  Could be worth taking a look at at the very least.

I hope to be able to post something soon about our own UK development on this.
