al explanations of how Shibboleth works, from easy to expert, refer to the SWITCH Federation site.
Implementation Options
Organizational Single Sign-on System Shibboleth is growing in popularity as a web single sign-on system, able to address both on- and off-campus web authentication.
Controlled Information Release In addition to providing single sign-on functionality, Shibboleth can help control access to either campus-based or licensed resources. Working with your identity management systems, Shibboleth will release the information your service partners need to authorize actions or customize the user’s experience. This reduces the need for developers to have access to the directory and instead provides fresh data, just-in-time. This can be implemented on- and off-site.
Federated Access
Virtual Identity Provider An organization can manage virtual versions of identity provider software for other institutions. One installation can act as if it is supporting multiple organizations. From end-user perspectives, it looks as if their schools are hosting the software.
