About IAM Online

IAM Online is a monthly online education series brought to you by Internet2’s InCommon community and the EDUCAUSE Higher Education Information Security Council (HEISC).

Two members of InCommon's Shibboleth installation training team will hold "office hours" July 7 and July 12 to answer questions about version 3 of the Shibboleth Identity Provider. They will entertain both general and technical questions. End of life for Version 2 of the Identity Provider software is scheduled for July 31, 2016. These office hours are intended to help those who have not yet planned their upgrade. InCommon participants can drop in any time during the hour. Questions will be take by the Adobe Connect chat function or over the phone. Adobe Connect also will also allow the trainers to share any resources that might be helpful. No need to attend for the whole time - think of the faculty "office hours" during your college days.

Schedule:

Thursday, July 7, 2016 - 3:15 pm - 4:15 pm ET

Tuesday, July 12, 2016 - 11:30 am - 12:30 pm ET

Registration is open for the final InCommon Shibboleth Installation Workshop prior to the July 31 end-of-life date of the Identity Provider v2. This two-day training session covers both the Identity Provider and Service Provider software, as well as some integration issues. The IdP portion of the workshop is based on IdPv3.

We will focus the training sessions on people who wish to learn about and 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
