Looking for a Web single sign-on package that can be used for both

for you.

"CAMP Shibboleth: Enabling Campus and Federated Single Sign-On," June

  * Learn strategies for managing identity and privilege information
    used by the Shibboleth System
  * Understand the management issues involved in running a Shibboleth-
    enabled learning management system
  * Discover Shibboleth's value as a campus Web sign-on package
  * Learn about SAML 2.0, the mechanism that carries the identity
    information
  * Find out the questions you should ask your information/library
    vendors about SAML and Shibboleth System support
  * Hear practical advice for running the Shibboleth System on server
    clusters
