Information for InCommon Administrative Contacts
The Administrative Contact is responsible for submitting all metadata, certificate signing requests, and Participant Operating Practices (POP) URLs to the InCommon Federation. For new Adminstrative Contacts, a phone call is necessary for the federation to do identity proofing and set up access to the administrative interface.

Shibboleth Recommendation - New Deploys
InCommon strongly recommends that all new participants planning to use Shibboleth Federated Single Sign-on Software install and deploy version 2.x. Shibboleth v1.3 is no longer supported. There are no new features being added to v1.3 and there are no guarantees that changes to the current release are backwards compatible. For more information, see http://shibboleth.internet2.edu/shib-which-version.html.
