Grouper Deployment Guide, and Open Apereo 2017

[William G. Thompson, Jr.]

Folks,

The TIER community recently published a Grouper Deployment Guide that
makes use of NIST ABAC 800-162 to describe access policy governance.
Thought you all might be interested. A lot of the guide is specific to
Grouper of course, but there are general IAM strategies discussed that
are not product specific.

Would love to get any feedback on the guide if you get a chance to review.

Best,
Bill

Grouper is an enterprise access management system built by and for
higher education, and is a key component of Internet2’s Trust and
Identity in Education and Research (TIER) initiative. Designed for
highly distributed and heterogeneous information technology
environments, Grouper is uniquely suited to address the complexity and
flexibility required by the modern institution.

This seminar will explore the latest Grouper release, demonstrate a
variety of real world use cases, and review the much anticipated TIER
Grouper Deployment Guide which is slated for release in April 2017.
The deployment guide aims to distill diverse community examples into
specific TIER guidance and recommendation for achieving a variety of
identity and access management capabilities.

Come learn and see what Grouper can do for your campus and join the
growing community of practice!

And a CAS session:

Getting Started with Apereo CAS
Claypool
Presented by: Misagh Moayyed - Software Engineer, Unicon

If you are planning to get started with a CAS deployment, this is the
intended workshop session for you. The session will focus on the
features, configuration options and build/deployment practices of the
Apereo CAS server release and the path to their adoption for existing
deployments. We will of course be conducting a hands-on session
walking deployers through a series of dynamic build/deployment
exercises and depending on availability and time, may also delve into
integration strategies with client applications.

Specific topics for the session are authentication, authorization,
principal resolution and attribute release, managing service
registrations, multifactor authentication, protocol support and more.
