June CAMP Workshops to Focus on Shibboleth and Secure Collaboration

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.

Advanced CAMP: Scaling Secure Collaboration

(June 28–29)
Overview: This exploratory CAMP will bring together experts from across the research and education community to identify, clarify, and coordinate next steps to support collaborative activities within and among organizations. The focus will be on identity and access management services, such as federated authentication and  group/privilege management, and their integration with applications and application suites.

Central campus IT strategists, technology architects, and those in related leadership roles will benefit most from this workshop. Register before May 29 for low, early-bird rates.
