UChicago Silver Objectives • Support research & scientific collaborations • Ability to deliver SaaS solutions with higher LoA • Enhance local confidence in our ability to manage access • Eg, allay Registrar’s concerns with students using UChicagonetIds for transcript delivery • All faculty, staff, and students needing Silver should be able to get it, easily • But most won’t need it right away, so don’t make them do anything special until they do
Circumstances – Initial State • Central IdM one of several activities supported by a staff pool – inability to sustain focus on IdM • Inadequate operating practices and doc • Unknown if HR on-boarding process good enough to leverage as-is • Student admissions process most likely not • ID Card office co-operative with ITS & Library • UC Medical Center IdM • user account management integrated with central IdM • but separate password store
Implementation Approach • Re-org IdM • Use existing username/password credentials • Stored in LDAP and in Active Directory • Leverage ID card issuing process to meet Silver identity vetting & credential issuance requirements • Strengthen management of ID Card office • Assimilate ID Card back-end operations into central IdM
Implementation Approach • Move IdM servers to central sysadmin group Document operating practices of both groups • Provide IT Security an opportunity to define good operating practices • Plan IdM audit with Risk Management • Extend IdMS to track who has met which Silver pre-requisites (ID vetting, good password, no security hold)
Managing password exposure browser IdP/login app authN service 1 app IdMS password sync app authN service 2 app app VaTech-style policy to apply to all apps
Unknowns • Medical Center • Unlikely to be needed soon (Drs are BSD faculty and have centrally-issued credentials) • identity vetting options • independent ID Card office eventually to be assimilated • leverage HR on-boarding process • ID vetting for remote people needing Silver • Predicated on anticipated specifications in InCommon Silver IAP v1.1
Are you organized to enable a Silver implementation (if you wanted to do it)?And are the necessary stakeholder relationships in good shape?
What would motivate you to start a Silver implementation?What obstacles hinder that?
Do you already have the right set of tools, operating practices, and technologies to fold into a Silver implementation?
The CIC has found it extremely helpful to go together, as a cohort. Do you have any friends to share the experience with?Do you want some?
