Bradford is a large mixed economy college with a large student and staff population, running Shibboleth on Tomcat and CentOS Linux as part of the UK federation ? for access to electronic resources.
Sirius has worked with Bradford College since 2015. Initially they needed help with a move from one proprietary directory server to another and integrating their Shibboleth server with the new backend directory. Other requirements over time have included
- Integrate EZProxy with Shibboleth
- Upgrade Shibboleth from v2 to v3
- Training for Shibboleth system tasks
- Extend Single-Sign-On (SSO) to LinkedIn Learning (formerly Lynda.com ?)
Sirius provides all ongoing Shibboleth support and maintenance for the College.
Combined with our Consultancy, Deployment work, and ongoing Support, Sirius recommends these Open Source technologies:
- Shibboleth
- Apache Tomcat
- CentOS Linux
Since our first assignment with Bradford College we have:
- Successfully migrated Shibboleth from one proprietary backend directory to another, translating and solving all configuration and syntax differences.
- Migrated Shibboleth from version 2 to version 3, while maintaining all functionality and minimizing downtime.
- Trained Bradford IT staff for everyday Shibboleth system tasks.
- Integrated EZProxy with Shibboleth seamlessly.
- Successfully extended Shibboleth SSO to LinkedIn Learning.
Sirius continues to provide comprehensive ongoing Shibboleth support and maintenance.
