Disguising the IDP login page

We have an sp (internal to our organization) that would like to mask our IDP login page with their own login page by making a call to the IDP in an iframe.  In order to make this work we'd have to specifically set a document.domain variable on the IDP login page.  

My question is are there security risks we should consider?  Also, are there user or political implications that might raise flags, particularly for multi campus higher education institutions?  For example, users won't know they're logging in with our secure authentication system.  Some have argued that's not an issue with users today.
