InCommon has scheduled two Shibboleth Installation Workshops for May and June, 2016. We have front-loaded the schedule this year because of the end-of-life of Shib IdPv2, July 31, 2016.
Registration is open for these workshops:
• May 19-20, 2016, at the University of Chicago in Chicago
• June 23-24, 2016, at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY
For details on the training sessions and links to register, please go to www.incommon.org/shibtraining
These two-day training sessions cover both the Identity Provider and Service Provider software, as well as some integration issues. We will focus the training sessions on people who wish to learn about and eventually deploy IdPv3. Those interested in upgrading from v2.x will also find value, but we will mainly cover IdPv3 as an independent topic to ensure we deliver the clearest content possible. 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 running 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

Registries and Records: The Ties That Bind an IAM System
IAM Online – Wednesday, February 17, 2016
2 pm ET / 1 pm CT / Noon MT / 11 am PT
www.incommon.org/iamonline
What are the business and policy concerns that drive the implementation of a central registry system? How do you ensure consistent and accurate data about individuals when that information might come from multiple locations and sources? How does this impact (and integrate) with such business systems as PeopleSoft, Workday, and others? How you can treat the registry as a master data hub and canonical source for person and other entity data.
Join us for this IAM Online and learn about the experiences of two universities implementing central registry systems -- and how those systems form the backbone of their identity and access management systems. Hear about why central registries were created and required elements for new records. Learn about the successes and bumps along the way. And hear about the registry work that is just getting started as part of the TIER initiative (Trust and Identity in Education and Research).
Join us for this wide-ranging discussion and to pose your questions.
