  1. KC-ROLO Project Kidderminster College – Repository Of Learning Objects Inter-Institutional E-learning Graham Mason and Ed Beddows

  2. Project Overview • Research into using Core Middleware to allow collaboration with other institutions • Use Shibboleth to share E-Learning resources between Institutions e.g. -Projects -Repositories -Courses

  3. How we used to share… • Users must exist at each site • Administrative nightmare • Security issues • Does not scale well

  4. The Shibboleth way • Shibboleth “Middleware” sits between sites • Home site is responsible for authentication • The resource owner is still responsible for authorisation

  5. Benefits of Shibboleth • Enables institutions to share resources easily, scales well • Administrative overhead is reduced • Security is enhanced because only one account is needed to access all resources • Privacy is maintained, attributes replace the need to use usernames and passwords to authorise access

  6. Components of Shibboleth • OriginUsers home site, provides authentication and attributes for users • TargetResource to be protected by Shibboleth • Where Are You From? (WAYF)Used to identify the users home institution
