Abstract
Many applications (even intracampus) derive benefit from “knowing” something about the browser user. This session will provide an overview of Shibboleth as an option for managing the process of making user attribute information available to distributed applications within a campus. We will also review management and technical topics such as developing a governance process for attribute release, creating appropriate policy and business practices, managing attribute release, and using different data sources for the attribute store. Attendees who are not familiar with identity management are encouraged to attend the preworkshop seminar "Introduction to Identity Management: The Big Picture."
