Shibboleth
Project
- Inter-institutional web authentication and authorization
- Supporting federated administration
- Supporting personal/institutional privacy controls
- Without requiring universal PKI client
certificates
- Why inter-institutional?
- Already useful academic use cases (course-sharing,
library access)
- Outsourced services
(e.g. private-label credit cards)
- How big can our "local" security domain get?
- Interaction with other local schools,
state, fed
- Why Web?
- Many (most?) have web-based authentication
running now
- (... but they're all different, as
survey shows)
- Interesting new apps are web-based
- Support other protocols too, later
