NGS Seminar: Shibboleth Access to Resources on the NGS

This talk will demonstrate how it is possible to access and use NGS resources using institutional login credentials (via the UK Access Management Federation).

It will describe how the UK's two main e-Science authentication systems are combined to form an easy to use yet robust identity management environment.  It will discuss how this mechanism links together with system, project and Virtual Organisation (VO) registration procedures. 

The slides for the seminar are available to download as a pdf.
