The EDUCAUSE Live! Spotlight on Identity Management series is a new, six-month series that will feature one or two speakers from a campus that have analyzed or solved a problem in a way that many people will find instructive.

Two upcoming CAMP workshops (detailed below) in Portland, Oregon, CAMP Shibboleth: Flexible Web-Based Authentication and Authorization and Advanced CAMP: Scaling Secure Collaboration, will focus on middleware deployment.

CAMP Shibboleth: Flexible Web-Based Authentication and Authorization

(June 25–27)
Overview: This CAMP will offer concrete practice and real-world experience from institutions running Shibboleth in production for controlling access to both on- and off-campus services. Participants will learn the answers to questions such as:

• What is Shibboleth and how does it work?
• What is the business case for it and how can I sell it on my campus?
• What is the migration path to support intercampus Web SSO in the future?
• How much identity management infrastructure do I need?
• How can I use Shibboleth to simplify my application deployment and maintenance?

Higher education IT managers, project managers, middleware architects, and systems analysts involved at a technical, management, or stakeholder level in supporting Web-based services will benefit most from this workshop. Register before May 29 for low, early-bird rates.
