Sharepoint 2010 and SSO

Reading this Microsoft doc,  you can make/reuse easily a WebSSO between Shibboleth and Sharepoint 2010.

Now Sharepoint uses SAML (1.1 but … ok) to remove the need to login each time to be able to connect between sites. As CAS can be the frontend for SAML, you can mix a LOT of technologies 😉

Moodle restore

Moodle is a nice web site designed for teachers.

Moodle is compatible with Shibboleth AND CAS so your people can forget to login each time 😉

Version 2.1 promise to restore backup from 1.9 : TRUE but … it is more a template than a site that you get as all users and their content is removed

Good job anyway moodle people !

One token to rule them all

In the different Web single sign on (SSO)  solution existing, some of the most well known are :

1.  windows login in IE only
2.  CAS from jasig : easy but limited
3.  SAML for example in shibboleth : full feature but … more complex

For 2 and 3 you can know have BOTH !

Easy to do and … your users will love you 😉
