A Shibboleth Roadmap: Charting Your Course

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:A Shibboleth Roadmap: Charting Your Course (ID: MWR07055)
Author(s):James Phelps (University of Wisconsin-Madison) and Nathan D. Klingenstein (Internet2)
Origin:Presented at Midwest Regional Conferences (03/12/2007)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:Web single sign-on (SSO) technology can simplify the user experience and improve Web security. But most software is limited to use within a campus, doesn't provision applications with identity-related authorization information, and can't be leveraged to access online services external to your institution. The Shibboleth System, an open source Web SSO/federating package, is an exception. This seminar will provide a brief introduction to Web SSO and Shibboleth technology and related management issues and present the typical three-stage approach to implementation. This seminar is supported by the NMI-EDIT Consortium of EDUCAUSE and Internet2.
