Registration is open for two Shibboleth installation workshops
May 14-15, 2013, at Citrus College in Glendora, California
June 17-18, 2013, at MCNC in North Carolina’s Research Triangle Park (near Durham)
Both workshops will use the same curriculum for those who need training on installation of the Shibboleth single sign-on and federating software. The training is designed for those who have decided to deploy a web single sign-on system and leverage it to access resources and contracted services through InCommon.
Each location will offer two days of training, with the first dedicated to the identity provider portion of the software, and the second covering the service provider. Attendance is limited to 44 for each day. Registration will close when capacity is reached or one week prior to the workshop dates.
Details and registration are available at www.incommon.org/shibtraining (North Carolina institutions receive a discount through April 30, 2013. Email Steve Thorpe at MCNC for details (thorpe@mailbox.mcnc.org). Please note there is separate registration for each day.
