Additional Raptor Workshop in Scotland

Posted on Monday, 2 July 2012

The Raptor development team and JISC Collections will be offering an additional, free to attend, Raptor workshop in Scotland during September.

Raptor is a free to use, open source software suite generally designed to enable accounting within event-based systems, and specifically aimed at accounting within systems that handle authentication such as the Shibboleth IdP, OpenAthens LA, and EZproxy. See http://iam.cf.ac.uk/RAPTOR for further information.
