Shibboleth and Drupal at University of Massachusetts
Quite by accident this morning, I came across the following post on the University of Massachusetts Amherst Drupal Group page -- http://groups.drupal.org/node/273533.
It appears they had a workshop scheduled to discuss Drupal/Shibboleth. Unfortunately it was canceled but the fact that work is being done in this area at UMass piqued my interest.
I thought maybe someone may have a contact there or could make one to share ideas and progress on Shibboleth integration. Or perhaps this is old news?
Either way, I figured I'd share this with the group. Happy Holidays!

No meetups in December! We've decided to cancel the December TC Drupal and TC Ubercart and Ecommerce group meetups which were scheduled for next Wednesday, December 26th (Boxing Day!). Our normal venue, Intermedia Arts will be officially closed next week and almost everyone we know will be otherwise occupied.
So, let's live it up for the holidays and get together next at the regular monthly TC Drupal Happy Hour which is scheduled for the following week on Thursday January 3rd at the Blue Nile in Minneapolis (official announcement to be posted soon -- hint hint...).
Happy holidays! See you in 2013.

Setting up Drupal on UMN Linux Server
Hello, All,
I've been trying to move a drupal site onto one of the U's shared servers and have run into some problems. I wonder if anyone out there has done this and might be able to give me some pointers. Here's a summary of what I've been able (and unable) to do:
- I was, after much trial and error, able to get a drupal site operating at cfans.instepp.oit.umn.edu/instepptest. I am running into a number of issues, however, including:
