Right. See my comments along this line in: http://middleware.internet2.edu/shibboleth/docs/draft-morgan-shibboleth-websso-00.txt and http://middleware.internet2.edu/shibboleth/docs/draft-morgan-shibboleth-session-00.txt Essentially this punts SSO to be an issue between the end-entity and the authentication service, just as initial sign-on is. This is certainly the Shibboleth design assumption. - RL "Bob"
