How to build single sign on systems - practical experiences
Aim of the event
During the last few events, EuroCAMP has covered many varied subjects from high-level policy to metadata, and from attribute management to federations. It has been quite successful in reaching out to campuses and in getting feedback from those campuses. The original aim of EuroCAMP was to develop middleware awareness at grassroots level, and to present some of the various identity management and authentication mechanisms available.
This EuroCAMP will get back to those roots, providing training in the use and configuration of directory services, how to use schemas and how to ease the installation of authentication and authorisation software. It will also present simpleSAMLPhp and show how it can be integrated with existing applications to enable federated access.
The workshop programme will include step-by-step guidance to the installation and implementation of middleware components and will therefore be most suited to people with a technical background.
This EuroCAMP event will be a basic event, mainly aimed to those operating directories and identity management (IdM) systems within campuses. The event will address the following topics:
- Directories and how to populate them;
- How to allow applications to use directories;
- Why moving from LDAP based organisation database to an IdM system;
- Single Sign On and authentication inside and outside campuses (CAS, simpleSAMLphp, shibboleth etc and how to use them);
Registration is now closed.
