authenticating users from different domains



Hi, could someone please offer me some advice about authenticating users
from a different domains.

Scenario: -
A new online application that students from 5 different universities require
secure access to. The number of students would be around 6000 per year. The
universities have their own networks, servers etc. that their students are
authenticated against (mostly active directory).

Ideally, we would want to leave the authenication headache with the
universities e.g. have the student login with their university credentials,
which would then allow them secure access to data on a centralised server
sitting on a complete seperate network.

I would very much welcome any advice/guidance you could offer.

Vassone.
