ADVANCED CAMP AUTHORITY ARCHITECTURES WORKSHOP (June 30-July 2)
* OVERVIEW: At this workshop, explore 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. Topics include:
   - development of campus and inter-realm authority architectures and
     related systems
   - privilege management systems and Grouper, an architecture and suite
     of tools to manage groups across applications and user communities
   - policy decision points and enforcement issues
   - enabling authorization for simple applications
* AUDIENCE: IT architects
* BACKGROUND: The workshop builds on information covered at the 2003
   Advanced CAMP on authorization services. To get the most out of it,
   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.
