The registration deadline is quickly approaching for the InCommon Shibboleth Installation Workshop July 19-20 at Lafayette College in Easton, PA. Registration will close on July 9. This will be the last training session until November.

 

The two-day training sessions cover both the Identity Provider and Service Provider software, as well as some integration issues. The workshops focus on installing and deploying IdPv3 and the Shibboleth Service Provider. 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

 

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 run 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

 

To learn more about Shibboleth, see the Shibboleth wiki (wiki.shibboleth.net). More information on federated identity can be found at www.incommon.org.
