Identity Management, Software Solutions and more!

 

Looking to ramp-up your knowledge of Identity and Access Management fundamentals? Curious about higher education-developed solutions for IAM software? Interested in the InCommon Federation? Then BaseCAMP is the place to be this summer. Highlights of this annual event include:

• An introduction to the basics of identity and access management  —  whether you manage identities, make resources available to those from other organizations, or both.
• An introduction to the InCommon Federation, the U.S. identity federation serving education and research.
• An overview and demonstrations of the community-developed identity and access management suite, the InCommon Trusted Access Platform, and the role it can play in your IAM system.
• Experienced faculty who have been there, done that.

 

It’s not just a meeting. It’s CAMP!

 

This event will span half-days during the week of July 12 - 16, 2021. Here are some session highlights:

 

• Identity management overview - an interactive mini-course with the basics.
• Federation basics - covering roles, user experiences, and technology - from both an identity provider and service provider perspective.
• Solutions Salon - choose sessions on common IAM-related challenges and walk through the solutions. A few of the topics include guest access, onboarding new users, managing access with groups, and creating collaboration infrastructures.
• Join other attendees around a Zoom campfire at the end of each day  to discuss participant-driven topics.

 

Other topics include DevOps, moving to the cloud, and sessions specific to software like Shibboleth, Grouper, COmanage, and midPoint.
