The document discusses using the Raptor software suite to generate statistics from Shibboleth authentication data. Raptor allows generating graphs of authentication events over time grouped by different fields and exporting them as images, CSVs, or PDFs. It also explores pulling additional user data from LDAP directories and using Raptor's modular components like the MUA and PostgreSQL database with R and shell scripts to build a prototype for viewing service provider authentication statistics.

3. Shibboleth statistics using Raptor
IdP statistics (1/2)
Graphs over a defined interval,
grouped by a particular field,
extensions to pull more information
from institutional LDAP etc.

4. Shibboleth statistics using Raptor
IdP statistics (2/2)
Intention to incorporate
authentication events in EDINA
dashboard but no dedicated
software engineer time.
So build a prototype & explore
structure of Raptor database...
Raptor MUA
PostgreSQL
R
