Adobe Connect and Shibboleth

[Caskey, Paul]

I'm using Shibb with Connect with a simple apache + mod_proxy + shibbSP setup.  We've been running it this way for the past few years.

One of the tricks was sending http traffic to port 443 in order to get it to generate redirects using https.  I know, that makes no sense, but that's how it works.

The only attribute we care about is the userID - the provisioning of Connect is done in another process.

HTH,
-Paul
