Re: Campus Single Sign-On

[Steve Brukbacher <sab2 () UWM EDU>]

At UWM we are going to SAML and recently joined InCommon.  We are working on our InCommon Silver compliance.  This is 
particularly useful for providing auth for third party service providers who are InCommon partners.  Whether or not we 
really achieve SSO remains to be seen, but this is providing a foundation to move us in the right direction at least.

Phillip, 

"Awful lots of choices" is an understatement.  But the first step should
start with an assessment of where you are today (I am sure you have done
that). Are you an AD shop or not? What are the key systems you are trying to
add to the SSO infrastructure and what SSO platform do they support ­
natively? Your level of internal expertise (or availability of external
support/ resources)?

Per SAML and CAS; CAS actually supports SAML as do a tone of other
platforms, including MS FILM.

BTW : Goodluck with your project.

Does anyone have suggestions or recommendations on which route to go, and if
there are a good set of SSO management and implementation tools out there.
I've done a quick Google search and there is an awful lot of choices for
SSO.

Thanks.
