Shibboleth for Libraries
This wiki supports the InCommon Library/Shibboleth project, which consists of six institutions: Cornell University, Penn State, UC San Diego, The University of Chicago, University of Maryland, and the University of Washington. The project was started in 2007 to explore the issues in implementing access to library services and electronic resources using Shibboleth authentication. Shibboleth provides federated single sign-on convenience to protected resources. This group is also exploring the combination of Shibboleth and EZProxy. EZProxy can use Shibboleth for initial user authentication, providing a single login for both remote access and campus resources, as well as a seamless user experience when transitioning individual resource access from IP to Shibboleth.
What is Shibboleth?
An overview of Shibboleth federated single sign-on software and its applications with library services.
Deploying Shibboleth
Information about using Shibboleth to leverage your identity management system and deploy the software in a library setting. This section also includes information about potential sponsored partners (vendors who are members of other federations and, so, are already operating with Shibboleth).
Use Cases
Use cases will be presented, providing information about using Shibboleth in a library setting and about successful implementations at other institutions.
Presentations
See presentations from various meetings on using Shibboleth in a library setting.
