Abstract

This BoF will provide a continuation of the discussion from the identity management workshop held 18-19 August in Brisbane and organised by the Middleware Action Plan and Strategy Project and the CAUDIT Technical Standards Committee. The outcome from the August workshop is a whitepaper providing identity management advice to CIOs and enterprise architects in Australian and New Zealand higher education and research institutions. Contents include an enterprise identity management roadmap, elements of a business case to support identity management projects, and information on interfacing the identity management system with the Australian Access Federation. All are welcome, even if you did not have the opportunity to attend the workshop in August.
