Missing Shib-* server variables

[sitecorepm]

First thanks for the code, it helped a lot!

I was attempting to get this to work on Sitecore 7.5 with Shib SP 3.0. I managed to get Shib configured and working. The problem was that the Shib-* server variables were never available to the UserResolver pipeline processor. I know they were there because I created a simple test.aspx page to emit all server variables. They just weren't available in the pipeline.

I have since worked around this by hooking up to the Session_Start event instead where the server variables are accessible.

So my question is, how did you get this to work? What versions of Siteore/Shib were you using?

Thanks again, your code helped with a lot of the heavy lifting.. although if you could have also re-written the Shibboleth documentation that would have been great too :)
