University IT Technology Training
Setting up a Stanford Service Provider using Stanford's Federated IdP (SAML2) (Lecture)
Tuesday, January 24, 1:30-4:30 PM — $150
So you need to authenticate users for your application/service on the network and you don't want to have to handle password changes and everything else that comes with managing users locally? The campus single-signon (SSO) infrastructure, recommended by the Information Security Office, simplifies management tasks.
The campus SSO is moving from Webauth to Shibboleth, and this class will help you understand what this means for you as an application/service provider.
This lecture will cover the terminology of Shibboleth and the Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML), and how it is made available to campus from University IT's central infrastructure. It will provide an overview of the various Shibboleth components and will demonstrate configuring a couple of commonly-used campus applications for use with Shibboleth. The objective is for students to gain the knowledge necessary to build and configure applications that leverage Stanford's single-sign on infrastructure, and to be able to troubleshoot basic issues with SSO configuration.
