What the über-techies don't tell you...

The move to federated access management is ‘an essential part of JISC’s work’, said Sarah Porter, JISC’s Head of Development, at the start of the Access Management showcase event held in central London yesterday.
Delivering the keynote address at the event, which attracted around 150 senior IT managers, publishers and other delegates, she said the UK Access Management Federation, due to be launched in November, will support educational institutions to implement new technologies, such as Shibboleth, which will allow single sign-on to resources for users through the implementation of federated, devolved authentication.
