Some illustrative uses of the UW Shibboleth Identity Provider (IdP) for authentication and attribute exchange.
| Service | Provider | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Catalyst Web Tools | Catalyst | Logins to Catalyst Web Tools use Shibboleth for cross-organizational authentication
and collaboration, using trust metadata provided by the InCommon federation. Catalyst
designed and incorporated a custom "Where Are You From" service into their login process
to allow visitors to select their affiliated identity provider. Catalyst currently supports
logins from the UW IdP or ProtectNetwork, an "open" identity provider in the InCommon federation.
