Troy,

I've done something similar, but in reverse.  Users authenticate against 
the MSUnet via Shibboleth, and the Shibboleth Identify Server returns a 
validated username.  That username is then compared to a database of 
approved users for that server's services, and if they are on the list, 
they get access.  All that's needed is to have the Identity Server 
Administrators agree to return the parameter you need upon successful 
Shibboleth authentication (it isn't provided automatically).
