ITS is moving forward with removing dependencies on the Cosign authentication service, as explained in Transition from Cosign to Shibboleth Authentication. Plan to no longer use the self-service options for installing Cosign with new applications after May 7, 2022. Shibboleth authentication, already in use across U-M, will replace Cosign and can be installed now. Shibboleth at U-M can be set up to use either SAML or OIDC.
