Need training on Shibboleth installation? Consider attending the latest InCommon Shibboleth Installation Workshop in Omaha, Nebraska, sponsored by InCommon, Internet2, and the University of Nebraska.

We’ll spend one day (October 21) installing the identity provider software, and the second day (October 22) installing the service provider software. These directed self-paced workshops allow attendees to move through the material at their own speed, while having experienced trainers provide overviews and one-on-one help with the process.

Attendance is limited to 40 registrants each day. Registration closes October 14, 2013.

The workshops provide technical installation and configuration experience with Shibboleth version 2.x using a self-paced set of instructions. 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.

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