New major release of free open source federated identity solution adds user consent capability and support for Central Authentication Service protocol
BRISTOL, England, Feb. 20, 2015—The research and education (R&E) community is set to benefit from an upgrade to a free open source software system that will help them better deliver access and identity management services.
The Shibboleth Consortium—a collaborative group of international R&E organizations—has released version 3 of the Shibboleth Identity Provider, the latest version of its free open source software that enables secure web single sign-on. Institutions are able to use the software to enable researchers to safely access library resources, databases and collaboration tools using only one login, doing away with the need to set up new accounts as they move between locations.
The February issue of the InCommon Update is now available.

Working Groups Report: Making Federation Easier
This IAM Online is all about identities and identity providers, with the broad theme of making it easier for both campuses and individuals to participate in the InCommon Federation. You will hear from the following InCommon TAC work groups:
Alternative IdPs Working Group - This group has assessed in-house and outsourced strategies for deploying an IdP (including a helpful decision tree) and recommendations for future InCommon work as it strives to make things easier for campus deployers. For more information, see https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/x/oQLkAg
External Identities Working Group - This group is exploring how to make external identities (e.g., from Google, Microsoft, or UnitedID) useful and sufficiently trusted, as well as the potential to link an external identity with a campus identity. They have looked at types of identities, use cases, and issues to consider for those needing some sort of external identity. See https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/x/-gTkAg
IdP of Last Resort Working Group - This group is exploring options for those who are not represented by a campus IdP or whose IdP will not release the necessary attributes. This group is documenting the requirements for any potential IdP of Last Resort, develop case studies, and explore tradeoffs between this concept and the use of external identities. For more information: https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/x/iwvkAg
New Entities Working Group - This group is preparing for InCommon’s participation with eduGAIN and interfederation. Operationalization of eduGAIN will add IdPs and SPs that are members of other federations, and some regional network operators would like to add new types of entities (such as K-12) to the metadata. This group is exploring the policies and practices needed in an interfederated world. More info: https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/x/mwvkAg
