you need training on installation and support?

Consider attending one or both:
*  Shibboleth Identity Provider Workshop on November 9, 2010

The InCommon Shibboleth Identity and Service Provider Workshops will provide

Developed for organizations new to Shibboleth and those with existing 
implementations interested in upgrading to the v2 release, the workshops will 
offer attendees the chance to:

virtual machine environment.

•  Learn about integration with LDAP directories and selected packages.

AUDIENCE includes higher education and partner organization representatives 
with knowledge of identity management concepts and related implementation 
experience. Organizations are encouraged to send one or two attendees who 
best represent the following functions:

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