CAMP SHIBBOLETH: FLEXIBLE WEB-BASED AUTHENTICATION AND AUTHORIZATION
(June 25-27)

OVERVIEW
This CAMP will offer concrete practice and real-world experience from
institutions running Shibboleth in production for controlling access to
both on- and off-campus services. The workshop will focus on a three-
stage implementation process including using Shibboleth as a campus Web
single sign-on system, extending it for authorization use, and using it
as federation software. Additionally, this CAMP will offer:
* A track for those institutions new to Shibboleth in addition to
  management and technical tracks for those that have more experience
  with the software.
* Cohort discussion breakouts to work through a readiness assessment,
  with the opportunity to plan next steps with peers.

IS THIS WORKSHOP FOR YOU?
* This workshop is designed for higher education IT managers, project
  managers, middleware architects, and systems analysts involved at a
  technical, management, or stakeholder level in supporting Web-based
  services.
