Hi Gabe,
The pieces you'd need on the DSpace-side seem do-able (assuming I'm
understanding your use case properly)
First, you'd need to setup DSpace to use Shibboleth:
https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC6x/Authentication+Plugins#AuthenticationPlugins-ShibbolethAuthentication
Second, you'd need to ensure that there's a DSpace Group that all (or some)
of you Shibboleth users are being "mapped" into. You'd need to setup some
form of "Role Based Groups". They are described in the documentation
above, and the configuration is in this section of the
"authentication-shibboleth.cfg" file:
https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/blob/dspace-6_x/dspace/config/modules/authentication-shibboleth.cfg#L149
So, for example, using Role Based Groups, you can configure DSpace to look
for anyone who logs into Shibboleth *and* is a member of the "Faculty"
Shibboleth group to be automatically added into a DSpace group named
"Faculty-members" (this group can be named anything).
Once you have all of the above setup, then anyone who logs into DSpace via
Shibboleth should automatically be added to a specific group (only for the
remainder of their logged in session).
Third, you'd add that DSpace group (e.g. "Faculty-members") as a Submitter
rights to a specific Collection in your DSpace.
At this point, you'd likely want to perform some tests. Have a user (who is
a member of the Shibboleth group you mapped) login, and see if they
immediately have submit rights to that Collection.
If they do, then, you just need to provide a direct link to the Submission
form for that Collection (which should be the Collection URL with "/submit"
appended on the end).
In the end, the process should look something like this:
1) User clicks on the Collection submit link, which should look like
https://[url-to-dspace]/handle/[collection-handle]/submit
2) User will be prompted to login via Shibboleth.
3) After logging in, the user will be sent into the submission process for
that Collection in DSpace.
4) If the user cancels the submission, or walks away, they may have to log
back into DSpace (again with their Shibboleth login) to restart the
submission. But, otherwise, this process should work.
Hopefully that gives you some clues on how to proceed. If you need more
ideas or run into problems, let us know on this list.
