RE: [Bodington-developers] Bodington with SP and IdP - SSO and v2.6

[Andrew B. <a.g...@le...>]

The Bodington SP shim only needs to know the username. There is no
eduPerson attribute for conveying a password. This isn't a problem,
because the shim can rely on the fact that by the time SP allows access,
authentication has already happened - it only needs to know who the user
is.

I think the problem is because some people are talking about Bodington 
being an SP and some people are talking about Bodington being an IdP.

IdP doesn't need anything to do with changing password.
SP does need to know about password changing.
