Consortium membership grants you exclusive access to support with Shibboleth systems and products. This includes:

  • Direct Q&A style support from the core development team

Support our ongoing development keeping Shibboleth up and running

As an open-source project, Shibboleth can only operate so long as adequate funding is available to cover maintenance costs. The Consortium uses funds raised through membership to ensure that your organisation, and thousands like it, can continue to deploy Shibboleth software with confidence.

"Roughly 70% of the almost 2,500 entities registered in the UK federation run Shibboleth, so it is an important set of security products within our community that we help curate. Our membership of the Consortium helps ensure the sustainability of this critical software on their behalf - in essence we contribute £37.60 per instance per year for a fully supported and actively developed security product, which we believe is extremely good value for money."

We have chosen Shibboleth as basis for our federation many years ago - and it has turned out to be an excellent choice!

We value the competence and the timely and professional responses to our queries. Especially the messenger channel for technical support provides ideal access to all Shibboleth developers. Without our membership we couldn‘t provide so reliable Shibboleth related services for our customers.
