Hi
We have a set up for Shibboleth idp that includes CAS server (Central Authentication Server by Jasig) in the middle and it is the CAS that authenticates to AD.
All I did to change to 2008 was change the name of the LDAP server in the deployerconfig file to be the new one.
Now that I've just written that down, it probably isn't shibboleth that is my issue - it will be the CAS, nothing like a good panic to mess with the mind! We never had CAS before we got Shibboleth and I have a tendency to think that it is all one beast.
Thank you.

Heather,
I've used W2k8 extensively without problems. But not in this particular set up. I'm a bit confused when you say "using CAS" but also "authenticating against Active directory". Just to clarify my mind when you say "switching our authentication from pointing the 2003 server to the 2008 server " What did you change?

This might be as easy as an XML syntax issue. I'd first check the logs for anything obvious..
