Have you decided to deploy a web single sign-on (SSO) system and leverage it to access resources and contracted services in the InCommon Federation? Do you need training on installation and support?
Registration is open for the latest in the Shibboleth Workshop Series, to be held March 14-15, 2011, in Amherst, Massachusetts. The workshops are available to those interested in installing and operating the Shibboleth Single Sign-on and Federating Software from institutions of higher education and their partner organizations. Only 28 seats are available for each workshop.
Consider attending one or both:
- Shibboleth Identity Provider Workshop on March 14, 2011
- Shibboleth Service Provider Workshop on March 15, 2011
The Shibboleth workshops will provide attendees with technical installation and configuration experience with Shibboleth Single Sign-on and Federating Software, version 2. Developed for organizations new to Shibboleth and those with existing implementations interested in upgrading to the v2 release, the workshops will offer the opportunity to:
- Install either a prototype Shibboleth identity or service provider in a virtual machine environment.
- Hear tips for configuring and running the software in production.
- Learn about integration with LDAP directories and selected packages.
The Identity Provider Workshop will be March 14, from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. ($335 for InCommon Participants and Internet2 members; $350 for others). The Service Provider Workshop is March 15, 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.
Travel and lodging information is also on the website.
This Shibboleth Workshop Series is sponsored by InCommon, Five Colleges, Inc., the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, and Internet2.
