Need training on Shibboleth installation and support? Interested in getting the most out of your InCommon participation? Consider attending one or both of the latest sessions in the Shibboleth Workshop Series, to be held at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania, and sponsored by InCommon with support from Internet2 and Lafayette College.
The workshops will provide technical installation and configuration experience with Shibboleth version 2.x and were developed for campuses new to Shibboleth and those interested in upgrading to 2.x.
- Install either a prototype identity or service provider in either a Linux (CentOS) or Windows virtual
machine environment (familiarity with Tomcat is very helpful in this training environment). - Hear tips for configuring and running the software in production.
- Learn about integration with LDAP directories and selected packages, as well as advanced topics.
The Identity Provider Workshop will be November 9, from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. ($335 for InCommon Participants and Internet2 members; $350 for others). The Service Provider Workshop is November 10, 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. ($335 for InCommon Participants and Internet2 members; $350 for others). Please note there is separate registration and a separate fee for each workshop.
Organizations are encouraged to send up to two attendees who best represent these functions: system install, integration, and ongoing support staff; and/or campus technology architects. Details and registration information and links are available at the InCommon website.
Lafayette College is located in Easton, PA, approximately 60 miles west of Newark, NJ, and 60 miles north of Philadelphia, PA. Travel and lodging information is also on the website. A one-page flyer [PDF] is also available.
