Consider attending one or both:
*  Shibboleth Identity Provider Workshop on November 9, 2010
•  Shibboleth Service Provider Workshop on November 10, 2010

The InCommon Shibboleth Identity and Service Provider Workshops will provide attendees with technical installation and configuration experience with Shibboleth Single Sign-on and Federating Software, version 2. 

Developed for organizations new to Shibboleth and those with existing implementations interested in upgrading to the v2 release, the workshops will offer attendees the chance to:

•  Install either a prototype Shibboleth identity or service provider in a virtual machine environment.
*  Hear tips for configuring and running the software in production.
•  Learn about integration with LDAP directories and selected packages.

AUDIENCE includes higher education and partner organization representatives with knowledge of identity management concepts and related implementation experience. Organizations are encouraged to send one or two attendees who best represent the following functions:

• System install, integration, and ongoing support staff
• Campus technology architects
