| 29-Nov-2006: | Shibboleth as an Intra-campus Web SSO, and with SOA At a recent Educause live broadcast, UCSD talked about "Planning and Delivering Service-Oriented Architecture". In this talk, they described how they are using Shibboleth as their deployed intra-campus Web SSO mechanism, why it's good to have a Web SSO, and noted the value of having Shibboleth support attributes. UCSD has a web portal/front-end that uses Shibboleth for SSO, and accesses backends via an SOA framework and its security mechanisms (authenticating as the user, using the identity obtained via Shibboleth attributes). This is an interesting example of a working approach to hooking these middleware components together; it is significant in showing that using WS-Security does NOT imply reinventing a campus infrastructure, or using WS-Federation. More info about the talk, and an archive of the audio, can be found at: http://www.educause.edu/LIVE0620 |
