[shib_auth] Shibb Module with Open Atrium

[Michael.OBrien]

Hi Kristof,

My initial problem was the shibboleth module when added to OA wasn't
distinct enough on the login page to make it stand out as another way to
authenticate themselves by. I don't really understand the 'automatic'
session initiation request but it would be nice if the Shibboleth login
allowed the user to include more information than just the module title
field like maybe a description/body field where the admin can also
include the shibboleth login token/url and any other markup they want
like images or other text or html or just leave it blank.

Michael

Thanks for sharing this. 

Unfortunately I don't know anything about Open Atrium. Was your problem
about OA not being able to properly show the login link?

Based on your posts, I can think of two valid feature requests to the
module:
 - support for 'automatic' session initiation (as also suggested by
Tommy
Peterson)
 - support for images as a login link

Please let me know if I understand you right. If one files a feature
request, then it's possible that someone will try and implement them.
Unfortunately  I won't be able to do it at least until mid-summer.

Kristof
