TechEx2024: Drinking our own Champagne: How Internet2 itself is leveraging and improving the Trusted Access Platform

In 2017, Internet2 implemented the InCommon Trusted Access Platform components, COmanage, Grouper, Shibboleth. Midpoint added to production in 2021. These components encompass the Internet2 Identity & Access Management platform, which enables the community to access resources and tools seamlessly using institutional, social, and guest logins. This platform has evolved iteratively since its deployment, with many lessons learned and with Internet2 providing feedback to the component architects to enhance and improve integration of the systems these tools support, including additional development work with Catalyst partners to fill needed gaps. Join us for a brief presentation on the history of the platform followed by a panel discussion of highlights of the features, improvements, and lessons learned as we ventured on a path to “drink our own champagne”.
