| Provisioning and Deprovisioning - Policy Considerations and Case Studies
Session Moderator: C.W. Belcher, University of Texas
Speakers: Theresa Semmens, North Dakota State University; Noreen Hogan, University of Oregon; Jim Jokl, University of Virginia; Scott Koranda, LIGO; Andrea Harrington, Penn State; Dustin Slater, University of Texas
As you provide more outsourced and cloud services, granting and removing access becomes more and more important. What are the policy considerations as you look at your process? How do campuses handle guests, affiliated groups, students who attend other institutions, and other specific use cases? We can't provide you with all of the answers, but can get you started on the right questions to address. | 8:30 - 9:00
Collaboration as a Service
Speaker: Niels van Dijk, SURFnet
Download the slides
This session showcases various scenarios from The Netherlands where distributed and cloud services were used to facilitate collaborations between institutions.
Scenarios include:
sharing learning platforms between institutions, nationally and internationally;
-sharing digital examination tools between institutions;
-combining cloud-based and on-premise services;
-private cloud document sharing as a collaboration between University Medical Centers.
The presentation will look at the 'business case' for these collaborations, as well as how (inter)federation, groups, attributes and provisioning was used to facilitate these scenarios.
9:00 - 9:30
Enhancing collaboration for researchers across campuses using COmanage
Speakers: Scott Koranda
Download the slides
Research and scholarship today is more collaborative than ever before and collaborations extend beyond a single campus. Groups of researchers and students from around the world need to come together and collaborate efficiently. Identity federations like InCommon in the United States go a long way to help make collaboration more efficient but identity federation by itself is not enough. Research faculty need a collaboration management platform (CMP) to help them create and manage collaboration spaces for their project teams and streamline access to the data, applications, and collaborative tools that power the collaborative research engine.
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) have deployed COmanage, a CMP focused on supporting research virtual collaborative organizations (COs). LIGO is using COmanage to manage the collaboration between itself and its sister project KAGRA in Japan. We will demonstrate how a member of the KAGRA-LIGO working group enrolls, is approved, and then gains access to LIGO web services using his or her federated identity.

| Practical Experiences of IAM and Distributed Services
Speaker: Richard James, Newcastle University
Download the slides
The session will describe Newcastle University’s current Identity and Access Management architecture, and will share experiences and initial approaches for the first ventures into distributed services. Newcastle has a long history of using Open Source tools within IAM. The University’s main IAM components being Internet2’s Shibboleth and Grouper and Talend’s open source Data Integration Suite. The session will discuss the importance of integration between these three components and the value and benefits that they have provided the institute and its users. Specific examples include moving library systems to the cloud and fully exploiting the Microsoft offering for STEM students and staff through schemes such as Microsoft Dreamspark. The frictionless user experience facilitated by these tools has delivered over £1.4million of value to university members.

| The Chicago Approach to Identity Assurance
Speaker: David Langenberg, University of Chicago
Download the slides
Identity Assurance and more specifically InCommon Silver Assurance is being talked about more and more within the IT organization. All of our campuses are at various locations on the not-well-explored path to gaining the InCommon Silver accreditation. This session will provide a brief overview of how the University of Chicago is handling the requirements from a technical perspective.

Associate Vice Provost for Student Affairs and University Registrar
Stanford University
Identity and Student Services: What if?
As the university becomes more global, offers programs to thousands or hundreds of thousands of students that it never sees, integrates more tightly with the corporate sector, attracts a student body that's increasing electronically sophisticated, what will constitute student services?
What if we could do real time assessment? What if we could integrate the high school experience and make a mashup that a student could use to apply to college with a click? This session will present a look into the future student services and engage the audience in a discussion of the implications on electronic identity. | Closing Keynote
