Academic institutions are creating federations aiming to bring facilities to their users through resource sharing. The Shibboleth project, widely used in academic federations, was designed exclusively to operate with web applications. Academic communities make use of desktop applications that do not necessarily make use of browsers making them unsuitable to operate in a Shibboleth federation. This paper proposes an infrastructure that enables these desktop applications operate in a Shibboleth federation and it allows translation of credentials from different security technologies. Another feature of this proposal is to allow Shibboleth's users to access non Shibboleth service providers.
