Executive Summary

...

Donors to Colorado State University (CSU) can track their donation history and download tax receipts from CSU’s Donor Connect Website. While this information is important to donors, their use is infrequent, and they often can’t remember their system created usernames and passwords. Providing the ability for them to log in with their social identities (gmail, facebook, linkedin, windows live, etc.) allows donors to connect using login credentials that they remember and transfers the liability and operations for managing and these login credentials from CSU to these social identity providers. This project, implemented with the help and support of the Internet2’s Trust and Identity for Education and Research (TIER)Campus Success Program, and Cirrus Identity, provided the tools and resources for a successful launch of this technology.

Solution Summary

...

This project was designed around CSU’s existing implementations of Shibboleth and Grouper. Along with these tools from Internet2, CSU Implemented COmanage as an identity registry for external users along with a Social to SAML gateway and proxy service from Cirrus Identity.

TIER Features Supported

...

Shibboleth, Grouper, COmanage, Docker, and RabbitMQ

Collaborators

...

One of the keys to the success of this project has been the collaboration with the TIER Campus Success partners. We worked closely with many in the program, but specifically with the Working Groups for Comanage and Grouper, The University of Illinois (and the Big 10 Alliance), and Lafayette College. The TIER Campus Success Program face to face meetings were critical for collaborating, learning how the tools work, resolving issues, and simplifying processes.
