we're actually going to be running 25-Live locally. Is there any 
document about how to integrate Shib in that scenario ?

Sounds like this is a well traveled road.... Altho when I go to the 
local url where we've installed 25-Live, and I click the "Sign In" link 
in the top right, it seems to use javascript to pop up a new small box 
in the middle of the screen asking for my userid and password --

--- so my first guess is that Shib-enabling this local instance is going 
to be more than just "use Shib to protect this path in the url space".

Any suggestions on how to deal with that ?

Thanks!
