Introduction to Federation
Today is all about federation and will progress from an introduction through operations and on to advanced concepts. This first session provides an overview of identity management federations. What is the purpose of a federation? What are the key roles, concepts, and policies? How can you set yourself up for success as you start working with InCommon?

CAMP Counselor: Brett Bieber (University of Nebraska-Lincoln)

Getting Started with Federation
Let's roll up our sleeves and get into the nitty gritty of operating within the InCommon Federation. This session will explore the different roles in more detail - identity providers, service providers, and the federation operator. We'll take a look at the Federation Manager - the key software portal through which you manage your interaction with all other InCommon participants.

CAMP Counselors: Janemarie Duh (Lafayette College), Albert Wu (Internet2), Matthew Economou (IAM consultant)

Federation Advanced Concepts
