Abstract:
The notion of this project was derived from our practical use of user authentication system namely Shibboleth
at the University of Bedfordshire. It has been found that the University of Bedfordshire controls it various services including,
student portal Breo, Learning Resources and Student Email access and others through the Shibboleth. Like the University of
Bedfordshire the other Universities in the UK also implementing the Shibboleth system in their access management control.
Therefore, the researcher of this project found it a paramount important to evaluate its efficiency and effectiveness of Shibboleth
from different perspectives. Throughout this investigation the authors applied a triangulation to find out user and service
provider viewpoint about Shibboleth. To figure out different problems and efficiency and effectiveness the author also
implemented the Shibboleth system successfully in the end although there were some problems persisted. The author provided
recommendations and conclusion at the end of this project
