> directory and authentication systems and (2) related policy and
> management issues will be helpful.

> ADVANCED CAMP AUTHORITY ARCHITECTURES WORKSHOP (June 30-July 2) In this
> workshop designed for IT architects, learn more about how to further
> leverage existing infrastructure to enable institutional sharing of
> definition, policy, and control for both on-campus application and
> off-campus resource-sharing authority requirements.
>
> The workshop builds on information covered at the 2003 Advanced CAMP on
> authorization services. Optimally, you should be from a campus that has
> robust enterprise directory and central authentication systems and that
> is on the cusp of implementing authorization services.

>      for Integration, University of Chicago; Blair Christensen,
