In the "already logged in" use case I'd hope that Shibboleth SPs would be able to provide specially crafted links to bypass the WAYF for users that are known to be from a specific IdP.  Otherwise users may have to go through some sort of WAYF like procedure at the service provider each time they arrive, regardless of whether they are logged into their IdPs or not.

This would be useful for all institutional portals, not just MyAthens.

Tom.

thanks Tom, that's helpful. I see what's meant by linking to shibb enabled
resources from MyAthens now. They're just links but as you've already
logged in to your IdP to get to MyAthens via AthensLA, you shouldn't have
to login to access the shibbed resources from the links.
