Identity Services Summit

Welcome to Advanced CAMP: Identity Services Summit

Are you working with one or more open-source or community-source projects as an architect, a developer, or a deployer? Want to collaborate with the broader community to make sense of the identity and access management (IAM) space to ensure that delivered software will be more secure, integratable, consistent, and usable? Join your colleagues at the upcoming "Advanced CAMP: Identity Services Summit for Higher Ed Open/Community-Source Projects."

Identity and access management, a common requirement for all online applications, is one of the first integration tasks that sites undertake when deploying a new software package or engaging an outsourced service. IAM requirements in academia are shifting as campuses collaborate, economize, outsource, federate, and standardize. Software projects and software vendors get mixed messages about how to support IAM, campus deployers find that each new package or service brings a new integration challenge, and the community is asking everyone involved to make sense of the IAM space

Who Should Attend

At "Advanced CAMP: Identity Services Summit for Higher Ed Open/Community-Source Projects," architects, developers, and deployers of higher ed open/community-source software projects will explore IAM issues and challenges. Participants will work together to identify common approaches to creating a more coherent IAM environment across these projects.

Meeting Outcomes and Topics to be Explored

The outcomes of this discussion-oriented, participant-driven workshop include:

• identifying new IAM requirements for current projects
• creating opportunities for new IAM-oriented projects
• improving channels for collaboration among IAM-related projects
• increasing the alignment of complementary work among projects
• enhancing the understanding of the changing identity landscape

Meeting participants will:

• discuss IAM structures and services, and the relationship between applications and organizational infrastructure
• look closely at possible common integration solutions like Kuali IdM (KIM) and Internet2 COmanage
• consider the identity needs for service/process access as well as end-user access
• learn from the experiences of real sites about identity integration issues
• review the modern Internet identity landscape, including the role of services like Facebook and technologies like OpenID, OAuth, and SAML and their potential role in solving problems for extended communities.

Advanced CAMP is sponsored by EDUCAUSE, Internet2, and Jasig. Additional support was provided by National Science Foundation Cooperative Agreement OCI-0330626.
