the charge, i’m right behind you :-)

interesting that the group many campuses rely on for IT consulting 
doesn't seem to understand the standard authentication/authorization 
model used by services for more than a decade.  ;-)

as Michael noted, deprovisioning is the problem. Its particularly a 
problem for campuses like mine that provide lifetime accounts. An 
undergraduate can access Gartner under our license; when that person 
becomes an alum, they can still login at Brown, and Gartner still lets 
them in even tho we are no longer asserting that they are covered by our 
license. Gartner suggested that that we use their UI, and manually 
deprovision all the graduates every May. Really, that's what they said !

I think that Christopher Bongaarts from Minn once mentioned a kludge 
that could be used with Gartner to control access.
