Identity Management, Software Solutions, and More!
Looking to ramp up on Identity and Access Management fundamentals? Curious about higher education-developed solutions for IAM software? Interested in the InCommon Federation? Then the virtual BaseCAMP 2021, held July 12-16, 2021, is the place to be. Register today!
BaseCAMP provides:
- An introduction to the basics of identity and access management — whether you manage identities, make resources available to those from other organizations, or both.
- An introduction to the InCommon Federation, the U.S. identity federation serving education and research.
- An overview and demonstrations of the community-developed identity and access management suite, the InCommon Trusted Access Platform, and the role it can play in your IAM system.
It’s not just a meeting. It’s CAMP!
This event will span half-days during the week of July 12 – 16, 2021. Here are some session highlights:
- Identity management overview – an interactive mini-course with the basics
- Federation basics – covering roles, user experiences, and technology – from both an identity provider and service provider perspective
- Solutions Salon – you can pick from among general IAM-related challenges and walk through the solutions. A few of the topics include guest access, onboarding new users, managing access with groups, and creating collaboration infrastructures.
Other topics include DevOps, moving to the cloud, and sessions specific to software like Shibboleth, Grouper, COmanage, and midPoint.
