Shibboleth is designed to enable the sharing of multiple Web resources. It allows different systems, such as course management systems and library databases, to access one another securely without requiring users to log in separately for each system. Personally I think Shibboleth is exactly the wrong way to go, since it entrenches controlled access databases and institution-specific user identities. Anyhow, as the headline says (with PR fluff thrown in), WebCT supports Shibboleth (I live for the day I see a three word press release headline).CRLF
