New Shibboleth resource for TDL members

Shibboleth logoIn order to improve communications with its members around the installation and maintenance of Shibboleth federated authentication software, the Texas Digital Library has created a new e-mail list for systems administrators who manage the Shibboleth installations at their institutions.

The Shibboleth Users List will provide a forum for members to communicate changes they make to the identity provider modules, including upgrades or modifications to the release of attributes to TDL. Users can also use the list to ask questions or share tips and other information. The list will be monitored by Paul Caskey of the LEARN Shibboleth Federation, as well as by technical personnel at the TDL.

Anyone joining the TDL Shibboleth Users List can e-mail the TDL at info@tdl.org.
