LGfL successfully implemented the International Web-2 Shibboleth protocol in June 2005. Thiswas the first school-serving Shibboleth implementation anywhere in the world, and with supportfrom supplier partners, LGfL was awarded the ‘Computing’ Public Sector Project of the YearAward as a consequence.The Shibboleth protocol provides a means to allow access to multiple web based (http) resourcesusing a single login. The Shibboleth protocol does not apply to non-web based resources such asMicrosoft Outlook email which uses protocols collectively referred to as Exchange Server.The LGfL USO is fully Shibbolethised and provides access to web based and other LGfL systemsand services. Also successfully ‘Shibbolethised’, the London MLE log-in will provide a user withaccess not only to Fronter, but also to most LGfL premium content.In 2009, the LGfL implemented the Systems Interoperability Framework (SIF) protocol whichenables information in different supplier systems, or applications, to be interoperated betweenthem without having to create ‘point to point’ proprietary protocols.The SIF protocol will be an increasing requirement by the LGfL from MIS, MLE and othersuppliers to schools, the intention being both to remove the cost of developing these proprietarysolutions, and also reduce the time taken to transfer information between systems.Both the Shibboleth and SIF protocols are technical solutions which require an element of centralmanagement.The LGfL has determined that, in addition to the management of the technical aspects, both alsoneed to have an overlay of federated management that ensures compliance with data protection,child protection and the overall standard of behaviours from all participants.The LGfLaai Federation manages this federated management on behalf of the London LAs,schools and participating suppliers. www.lgflaai.netUSO for staffReferenceServiceBrief DescriptionPackageThis LGfL ServiceUSO for staffUnified Sign On for staffThis provides a unified sign on for staff accounts.LA pooled fundsis supported by AtomwideThis provides a comprehensive approach to authentication, allowing access to a range ofresources and services, not only those that are http web resources.
