Registration is open for the first InCommon Shibboleth Installation Workshop of 2017, April 4-5, at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. This two-day training session covers both the Identity Provider and Service Provider software, as well as some integration issues. The IdP portion of the workshop is based on IdPv3.

 

We will focus the training sessions on people who wish to learn about and deploy IdPv3. Here is what you can expect:

 

• A two-day, directed self-paced workshop
• Hands-on installation of the identity provider and service provider software
• Experienced trainers providing overviews and one-on-one help
• Discussions on configuration and suggested practices for federation
• Attendance is limited to 40
• Registration closes March 17

 

The workshops will offer the chance to:

 

• Install a prototype Shibboleth identity or service provider in a virtual machine environment
• Discuss how to configure and running the software in production
• Learn about integration with other identity management components such as LDAP and selected service providers

 

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
