Napster Shibboleth Target

This document outlines the integration of Napster's music subscription service with Penn State University's (PSU) Shibboleth authentication system. Key components include user requirements, authorization, and the use of Shibboleth to secure access to Napster's services. The program aims to provide a legal online music service specifically for participating universities, with special considerations for user privacy and subscription renewals. PSU leads this initiative, ensuring a streamlined process for students to access music on or off-campus.
