  1. How is the cloud different? • Depends on service scope/intent • Concur (auth only) versus Box (collaboration/storage) • Existing Identity Management compromises persist • Limited independent leverage • Consumer-centric • Enterprise administrative controls can lag behind

  2. Identity In the Cloud? • Goal: • Campus-hosted system of record for entitled/active services • End-user self-provisioning for all services • Requires: • Vendor-provided user-management APIs • Disabling cloud-based identity management tools • Password change, account name change, etc. • Institution/cloud reconciliation • Automated de-provisioning of cloud accounts • Results in: • Institution is not dependent on cloud providers to know which services affiliates are provisioned for • Attestation capability

  3. How Can You Help? • Spread the message: • Federated authentication • Institutions should manage credentials – not cloud providers • Continue to push vendors in this direction • Account Name does not equal Email Address • All our users have multiple institutional email addresses • We need role-based security • User-centric controls are insufficient for a managed service

  4. Biggest Challenges • Identity Management compromises in favor of end-user features • Vendor maturity • Revoking campus credentials may not revoke access • Identity clean up for consumer-centric services • Affinities • No elegant solution for groups • Define the horizon
