Shibboleth and the Management of Content: Be Careful What You Ask For . . . Ken Klingenstein Project Manager, Internet2 Middleware Initiative, Chief Technologist University of Colorado, Boulder Shibboleth is an Internet2 initiative to develop and deploy a middleware interinstitutional authentication and authorization infrastructure. It has produced working open-source code that is being widely adopted by campuses and content providers as a new tool for access control. Shibboleth also raises an interesting set of issues, from alignment of content licenses with institutional middleware to role-based access control opportunities. This session will provide an update on Shibboleth and invite discussion on the policy issues being exposed in its deployments. Web Links: http://shibboleth.internet2.edu
