Dear Colleagues,

The new Enterprise Authentication Implementation Roadmap was released
and is available at
http://www.nmi-edit.org/roadmap/draft-authn-roadmap-03/.

Several new business needs are pushing campuses to rethink their
authentication and related identity management infrastructures to enable
appropriate interoperability with sister institutions, the Federal
Government, industry, and other partners. The Enterprise Authentication
Implementation Roadmap describes a recommended approach that campuses
can use in building enterprise authentication services in this new
environment.

Whether you are implementing a small project with an authentication
component or retooling your infrastructure in preparation for joining a
federation such as InCommon(r), the Roadmap provides information, tools,
and case studies to help you develop appropriate processes and
architectures. Written for IT management, the document includes related
identity-management topics as well as authentication-specific
technology, process, and policy issues.

The working group is soliciting your comments until October 1 and would
welcome any suggestions you may have.

Thanks
Ann
