Hi Adam,

We use Sakai with Shibboleth and didn't require any extra patching for 
just-in-time user provisioning, though we don't add local Sakai users to 
our database -- we just use a user directory provider that can look them 
up from an external database when it needs them.

We just expose the username as REMOTE_USER and use 'container' login as 
Sakai 2.6.x+ calls it, and then we protect the container login URL with 
Shibboleth.

Hope this helps,
