Federated Access Management: Core Skills

Federated Access Management (FAM) - for both internal and external resources - offers a secure, scalable and user friendly environment for organisations to manage and verify the online identity of their own members.

This workshop, developed with JISC funding, focuses on the technical requirements for organisations joining the UK Access Management Federation and acting as their own Identity Provider (IdP) and/or Service Provider (SP). Participants will be able to use the technology for themselves and explore the core skills and practical steps required to deploy it within their organisation.

For many academic institutions, the end of JISC funding for Athens access was a key driving factor in the decision to join the UK Access Management Federation, however the infrastructure required for FAM also allows much wider uses of the technology - both within and between organisations. These include management of access to shared resources, without replicating or exchanging user accounts and the deployment of genuine web-based single-sign-on (SSO) solutions.
