Thanks, Chris-- In fact, we have moved on to using Shibboleth authn with attributes (with PubCookie-supported authn) for our purposes, which means that not only are we not going to try to leverage the PubCookie code, but we will not be using FeSL authn. It's not at all clear to me how to usefully connect Shibboleth and JAAS to support FeSL authn. We would like to use FeSL authz. We aren't finding it stable enough yet for our needs this spring, but we look forward to using it soon.
