CAMP Shibboleth 2.0: Hands-on Technical Workshop

CAMP Shibboleth 2.0: Hands-on Technical Workshop

May 13–15, 2008
Michigan Information Technology Center, Ann Arbor, MI

Planning to deploy a web single sign-on (SSO) system and leveraging it to access resources supported by your institution as well as contracted services? Need training on installation and support?

Shibboleth is being deployed nationally and internationally as a web SSO system to access services hosted both on and off campus. The software leverages institutional identity and access management infrastructures to authenticate individuals and then sends their approved identity information to the local or remote service site for authorization. Many campuses are asking what value they derive from deploying separate intra- and intercampus SSO systems when Shibboleth supports the functions of both.

The CAMP Shibboleth 2.0: Hands-on Technical Workshop will complement the June 2007 Shibboleth CAMP by providing attendees with technical installation and configuration experience with Shibboleth version 2.0. The sessions are organized around the installation of the three phases of Shibboleth deployment:

  • Web SSO authentication
  • Web SSO with attribute delivery for authorization supporting on-campus applications
  • Web SSO with attribute delivery for use with services hosted off-campus

Developed for campuses new to Shibboleth and those with existing implementations interested in upgrading to the 2.0 release, the workshop will offer attendees the chance to:

  • Install prototype Shibboleth identity and service providers components in a virtual machine environment.
  • Hear tips for configuring and running the software in production.
  • Learn about integration with LDAP directories and selected packages.
  • Meet the Shibboleth Project Team and have a chance to influence software development.

Knowledge of identity management concepts and related implementation experience is strongly recommended.

Institutions are encouraged to send up to two attendees who best represent the following functions:

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

IMPORTANT! Participants will be installing Shibboleth in a virtual machine (VM) environment on their own machines. To accommodate the requirements of the VM, attendees must bring a laptop with the following configuration.

Hardware

  • Pentium 4 or later processor
  • 1 GB of memory
  • 15 GB of free hard drive space
  • DVD drive
  • 15' Ethernet drop cables to connect to the network

Software

  • VMWare Player/Workstation/Fusion software—VMWare Player is a free download for Windows and Linux desktops. VMWare WorkStation and Fusion are commercial products; however, you can obtain a free key by enabling a 30-day trial period. Please test before arriving. NOTE: VMWare Server Products will not work. Please ensure you have one of the versions noted above.

E-mail usage

  • Attendees will be installing, configuring, and testing software on a private network during the workshop; therefore, e-mail access at the conference center will be unavailable during the sessions. However, attendees may access complimentary wireless in their sleeping rooms.
