[Building Sakai] Shibbolizing Sakai

[Ed Garay]

Speaking of Shibbolizing Sakai, does Sakai provides a simple way of  
configuring it with hierarchical series of authentication methods?

For instance, could you set things up so Shibboleth is used first; if  
the user could not be auth'd with Shibb, the system would try to let  
him/her in via LDAP, and if he/her is not in that namespace either he/ 
she could be authenticated against AD or some native auth method.

One common use case for this would when an institution uses Shibboleth  
as an auth method for Sakai (and any subsequent single sign-on into an  
LTI tool or some other Web app) while having a special Sakai "WebDisk"  
URL for folks who need to access Sakai's WebDAV mount points directly  
from native WebDAV clients like WebDrive or some iOS WebDAV app.

Can a Sakai school easily do this without maintaining a CAS or pulling  
one's hair too much?
