News and information about InCommon Academy offerings

[Erin Murtha <>]

Hello Everyone!

 

Maybe you’ve heard your IAM friends raving about their recent training experiences with InCommon. Our classes are consistently rated at least 4.5 out of 5 stars. InCommon workshops aren’t your run-of-the-mill training classes – here’s why:

• Our workshops are led by our developers
• Your eyes won’t glaze over since you’ll be busy doing lab exercises in your own hosted VM
• You can attend virtually, yet feel like you’re still connected as we use a hybrid of collaborative tools
• We’re fun people (you’ll have to trust me on this one for now. 😉)

 

Interested in learning more? Keep on reading. But, do it quick – early bird rates for Shibboleth expire tomorrow (October 22).

 

 

Shibboleth Workshop

Live Sessions (via Zoom): November 15 – 19, 2021 (partial days)

What is Shibboleth? Shibboleth provides single sign-on (SSO) to services hosted locally or globally using the InCommon Federation.  

What is the Shibboleth Workshop? The virtual workshop is delivered through self-paced learning, access to a class Slack channel, and four half day sessions delivered through Zoom. You’ll learn how to deploy InCommon-ready Shibboleth Service and Identity Providers in a way that’s easy to install and manage. As an added bonus, you’ll learn about DevOps and containers, too.

What is midPoint? – midPoint is a general-purpose identity management and governance system used by the InCommon Trusted Access Platform for its ability to synchronize and reconcile among multiple systems of record and sources of identity, as well as to provision and de-provision user accounts and groups into services.

 

 

What is the midPoint Basics Workshop? – This is the place to learn how to install and configure midPoint in a Docker container. You’ll learn about the association between accounts and entitlements, how to configure resources, how to create org structures and how it integrates with Grouper.
