Is anyone using, or considering using, Shib to provide an
authentication/authorisation service to Alumni?
Such a service would probably have to operate outside the UK Access
Management Federation, or at the very least would have to be careful not
to assert ePSA values of 'member', 'staff', or 'student' for Alumni. It
would however provide a useful internal tool for maintaining relations
with departed members of institutions, and could perhaps be used to
provide 'Alumni IdP' services along the same lines as existing 'Alumni
Email' services.
