The two-day training sessions cover both the Identity Provider and Service Provider software, as well as some integration issues. The workshops focus on installing and deploying IdPv3 and the Shibboleth Service Provider. 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

• 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 run 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
A revised eduroam info sheet describes the features and benefits of the federated global wireless access service for research and education. It may be particularly useful in providing a high-level overview of the service to campus stakeholders.
Internet2 operates the U.S. node for eduroam, which allows individuals from a participating institution to use their home credentials for access. Eduroam is a worldwide federation of RADIUS servers allowing users to achieve seamless access when traveling to another participating institution. Some campuses have chosen to use eduroam as their default campus wireless network.
