I literally have nightmares about shibboleth and InCommon. My university system has at least 11 IdPs (I think some of the medical centers have their own, but my apps aren't used by medical centers generally). Even with InCommon, I had to negotiate attribute release with every IdP to get email and eppn. Even after filling out the forms that went through a systemwide identity committee, I had to cold call half the campus identity management groups to get the attributes. To even get my metadata into InCommon, I had practically camp out in front of some dudes office because I could not get email or phone calls returned. But, I was getting it set up before the Research and Scholarship category came out. If you can get your app/SP approved, and your target IdPs support it, the attributes are pre-negotiated.
Plus the software was a PITA too.
I'm trying to get a "bridge" set up so I can have one SP in R&S that supports OIDC, that way when I do a new app I can just have the app use open id connect and not have to deal with shibboleth.
