Need training on Shibboleth installation? Registration is now open for the next InCommon Shibboleth Installation Workshop, November 10-11, 2014, at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City. Attendees will spend one day installing the identity provider software and one day on the service provider software.

This directed self-paced workshop allows attendees to move through the material at their own speed, while having experienced trainers provide overviews and one-on-one help with the process. The workshops provide technical installation and configuration experienceå with Shibboleth version 2.x. Attendance is limited to 40 registrants each day.

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
