10 minUniversity of Dubuque's interest in helping with SSO work

We got an email (see below) from a librarian at University of Dubuque expressing interest in helping FOLIO with SSO/SAML.  We should discuss and send a response to him.

Here's the email: 

Good afternoon,

At the University of Dubuque, we’re currently using OCLC’s Worldshare Management System software for our cataloging and library operations platform. However, we’ve followed the launch and development progress of FOLIO since it was announced and continues to hit milestones of progress. In looking through the documentation on the wiki, I noticed that the Technical Council is looking for someone with a variety of skill-sets that I might be able to provide.

Here at the University of Dubuque, I worked to develop an SSO in-house to replace our EZ-Proxy login system. While we developed the systems, simpleSAMLphp, and deployed it successfully, linking the platform with the university ADFS installation, ultimately we pivoted away from the project due to a contact being signed by our IT department with a separate company, vendors not understanding the process of SAML protocol, and unwilling to support the program, even after conversations and meetings describing the protocol already being used in largely available programs such as Shibboleth.

I would love to know more about how I might provide any support, additional documentation, or anything that might assist in the progress for FOLIO.

Thank you,


Joseph Letriz
