Interacting with a Shibboleth protected website

Thanks everyone for the quick responses :). I haven't personally contacted
the IT people, but I know some people who have and were told there wasn't
any open API. However, I'm not entirely convinced by that. I'll contact the
folks listed on that website and see if they have more information.

I've got a couple of applications in mind, one is a Python+Flask web app,
and the other would be a moblie application written in Haxe. I know that
Python, at least, seems to have decent SAML support.

At any rate, thanks so much David and Tom for the information. I'll do some
digging and post again if I hit a wall.
