Hi Heather
Interesting point and its something we have come across in the past.
We have tackled it by having a guest account on our AD, with a specified password, which we set to expire a day after contacting the relevant company.
Seems to work well for us.

Subject: Shibboleth test accounts
Hello
when accessing new resources with Shibboleth - if access is proving difficult and things go wrong the resource providers often ask for test accounts so that they can see the difficulties for themselves.
What are people doing in this situation? Feel free to email me off list.
We have difficulty doing that for fear of breeching the terms and conditions of the UK Federation, that and the fact that we are using Active Directory and creating test accounts in there requires involving many more people.
I just wondered how other people go about ironing out wrinkles when the shibboleth doesn't work first time with new resources.
Thanks
