They document use of Spring Security with CAS, among others:
https://help.pentaho.com/Documentation/7.1/0P0/Setting_Up_User_Security/Implement_Advanced_Security/060
so it seems very likely you could also use Spring Security SAML.
And indeed they document this:
https://help.pentaho.com/Documentation/7.1/0P0/Setting_Up_User_Security/Implement_Advanced_Security/Set_Up_SAML_for_the_Pentaho_Server

But it seems their "Switch to Integrated Windows Authentication" documentation:
https://help.pentaho.com/Documentation/7.1/0P0/Setting_Up_User_Security/Implement_Advanced_Security/060/010
could also be used with the Shibboleth SP, as they're proxying from
MS-IIS to Apache Tomcat via AJP, like you could with the Shib SP.

So Spring Security SAML is fully documented by them, and use of the
Shib SP should be able to be infered from their "Integrated Windows
Authentication" docs.
