InCommon Kicks Off IAM Online Feb. 12

IAM Online is a new monthly series delivering interactive education on 
Identity and Access Management (IAM). The first IAM Online will take 
place Friday, February 12, at 1 p.m. (EST), with "Introduction to 
Federated Identity Management."

Presenter John O’Keefe will demonstrate how Lafayette College leveraged 
their existing identity management infrastructures to provide single 
sign-on access to resources both on- and off-campus. John will discuss 
the value of InCommon Federation participation, including the security 
and privacy benefits, particularly in this era of outsourced services 
and resources.

IAM Online is brought to you by InCommon in cooperation with Internet2 
and the EDUCAUSE Identity and Access Management Working Group. For 
complete information, including how to participate on February 12, go to
