Session Abstract

This session will open with a quick introduction to Shibboleth, a standards-based federated Single-SignOn and attribute exchange system that enables scalable, privacy-protecting access to online resources. Peter Alterman will provide a quick introduction to the Federal E-authentication Initiative, describe the recent successes with campus access to newly-Federated Federal applications (eg FastLane, etc), and describe the roadmap for the next twelve months, including inter-Federation operation between InCommon and the Federal Federation. Steve Carmody will describe some of the recent and more exciting campus and statewide Shibboleth implementations, including access to Learning Management Systems, Repositories, benefits renewal systems, grid systems, access-controlled P2P systems, and a host of others. The session will close with a quick look at the Shibboleth roadmap for the next year, including SAML 2 and some 3-tier support, and ADFS interoperability.
