Shibboleth Workshop Series

July 28-29, 2010
Northwestern University Library
Evanston, Illinois

Identity Provider July 28, 2010 (9 a.m. - 6 p.m.)
Service Provider July 29, 2010 (9 a.m. - 6 p.m.)

Both the Identity Provider and Service Provider workshops are at capacity and registration is closed.

Have you decided to deploy a web single sign-on (SSO) system and leveraging it to access resources and contracted services in the InCommon Federation? Need training on installation and support? Consider attending one or both of these sessions:

• Shibboleth Identity Provider Workshop to be held July 28 (9 a.m. - 6 p.m.)
• Shibboleth Service Provider Workshop to be held July 29 (9 a.m. - 6 p.m.)

Shibboleth® Federated Single Sign-On Software (shibboleth.internet2.edu) is being deployed nationally and internationally as a web SSO system to access services hosted both on and off campus. The software leverages institutional identity and access management infrastructures to authenticate individuals and then sends their approved identity information to the local or remote service site for authorization. Many campuses are asking what value they derive from deploying separate intra- and intercampus SSO systems when Shibboleth supports the functions of both.

The InCommon Shibboleth Identity and Service Provider Workshops will provide attendees with technical installation and configuration experience with Shibboleth version 2.X. Developed for campuses new to Shibboleth and those with existing implementations interested in upgrading to the v2 release, the workshops will offer attendees the chance to:

• Install either a prototype Shibboleth identity or service provider in a CentOS virtual machine environment.
• Hear tips for configuring and running the software in production.
• Learn about integration with LDAP directories and selected packages, as well as advanced topics.

Knowledge of identity management concepts and related implementation experience is strongly recommended.

Important: Read these technical requirements if you plan to attend.

Institutions are encouraged to send up to two attendees who best represent the following functions:

• System install, integration, and ongoing support staff
• Campus technology architects

This Shibboleth Workshop Series is sponsored by the InCommon Federation with support from Northwestern University and Internet2.
