Kerberos SSO with fail over to login auth

Thanks for the response Nick.

One of the business requirements for our Single Sign On project: The
successful authentication of logging into the SOE OS needs to mean that
you are automatically authenticated to protected web pages and are not
prompted to authenticate again.

So unless I can make the Shibboleth IdP the login screen for Windows I
need to use another method
- Kerberos is available and is possible:
https://wiki.shibboleth.net/confluence/display/SHIB2/Kerberos+Login+Handler
- but I also need to rework the out of the box solution to truly achieve
what we need as our business requirements.


Cheers
Aaron
