Attendance is limited to 44 for each day. Registration will close when capacity is reached or one week prior to the workshop dates.

Have you decided to deploy a web single sign-on (SSO) system and leverage it to access resources and contracted services through InCommon? Do you need training on installation and support?

Consider attending one or both:

•  Shibboleth Identity Provider Workshop on July 16, 2012

•  Shibboleth Service Provider Workshop on July 17, 2012

The InCommon Shibboleth Identity and Service Provider Workshops will provide you  with technical installation and configuration experience with Shibboleth Single Sign-on and Federating Software, version 2. 

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

• Install either a prototype Shibboleth identity or service provider in a virtual machine environment.
• Hear tips for configuring and running the software in production.
• 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
