Web Initial Sign-on (WebISO)

The WebISO working group is dormant for now.
Please contact Steve Olshansky, WebISO working group flywheel, with questions or comments.

The WebISO Working Group is investigating the realm of "web initial sign-on" (WebISO) packages: systems designed to allow users, with standard web browsers, to authenticate to web-based services across many web servers, using a standard, typically username/password-based central authentication service. The intent is to share experience in this realm and to work towards common solutions. The group's output may take the form of: recommendations for best practice and architecture; recommendations for interfaces between services and WebISO infrastructure; common WebISO protocols and/or common implementations. Key related projects include the Internet2 Shibboleth project, the Open Knowledge Initiative, and the uPortal project, to name a few.

The WebISO Working Group is chaired by Nathan Dors.
