Join us for the the next in our InCommon Affiliate webinar series,
featuring three case studies from colleges and universities working with
Unicon. The company provides IT consulting and services to colleges and
universities, including installation, configuration and support for the
popular open source Shibboleth and Grouper software systems.

The webinar will feature three campus case studies:

1. An extension to the Shibboleth identity provider to improve the
experience of University of Wisconsin users. The extension does some
coarse-grained authorization before the user is sent to a cloud service,
allowing the university to present customized (and friendlier) error
messages.

2. Implementation of Shibboleth and federated identity for campuses in the
California Community College system. Installation, configuration, and
deployment are all important as the system adopts a new common application
to be used by all 112 campuses.

3. Integration of an existing Shibboleth deployment with CAS (Central
Authentication Service) at Lafayette College.
