Following the London Atlassian User Group there was a lot of online discussion about Crowd. In The Wisdom of Crowd? (and at the user group), Miles Metcalfe asked whether Crowd would have Shibboleth.
UK institutions will be pushed to Shibboleth once their current access management service, Athens, becomes chargeable.
Justen Stepka, lead developer on Crowd, responded on his personal blog (“While Shibboleth seems to be very fine tuned, I seem to have more stock in CAS which has an even larger following of academic adopters and even appears to have some integration points with Shibboleth.”), and the debate is growing.
We’d love your input on this question, too. Read Justen’s blog here.
