The aim of this workshop is to help service providers to make their resources and services available to the users of the research infrastructure. During this hands on course, participants will install, test and configure a Service Provider using open source Shibboleth SP software, and at the end of the training participants should be familiar with the basic aspects of running a Shibboleth SP and integrating it to ELIXIR or DARIAH research infrastructures.
The workshop is intended in particular for organizations that provide resources and services for ELIXIR (life sciences) and DARIAH (art and humanities) research infrastructures and is divided into two parts. The first part is more generic and useful to any service provider interested in providing online services to SAML based identity federation. The second part is more specific and focuses on integrating a service with ELIXIR and DARIAH research infrastructure respectively.
Participants should have a basic understanding of federations and federated identity management, including the terms and the benefits; and should also be familiar with the concept and the motivation of running Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure (AAI) services. Basic Linux skills are also strongly recommended.
