titleDescription

The GN4-2 project developed a solution to offer an IdP as a Service solution for hosted IdPs. This incubator investigates the business case of this solution to investigate how this solution could be made into a sustainable service offering.
When the incubator is finished, a business model for the provisioning of the GEANT IdP-a-a-S platform will be made available, defined in its fundamental parts. The business model will define for the IdP-a-a-s platform the following key points:

  1. Added value of the IdP-a-a-S platform with respect to the current provisioninig model for Identity providers in eduGAIN / GEANT community
  2. What will be the provided product: Deployment model and service provisioning scenario, after identification of the service target users
  3. Key benefits for : a) End Users b) Individual Home Institutions IdP managers c) Federation operators
  4. Product Service deployment requirements and service lifecycle management
  5. Raugh estimate of the costs to provide the service

In addition to the business model, the Incubator IdP-a-a-S task will work to consolidate the current provided platform, with the aim of:

  1. Add a set of minimal required functionaliy to make the product consistent and attractve for target users
    1. Add to the current "spawn new IdP" functionality also the "IdP management/Configuration updates" functionality
    2. Make the platform an eduGAIN Service Provider accessible via federated credentials
    3. Add the necessary hooks to onboard Home Organization IdP admins ( without federated credentials available initially)
  2. Consolidate the product in terms of robustness, testing, stress testing, scalability
  3. Package the product to ease the deployment
  4. Integrate the platform with the required additional services to support a reasonable and concrete deployment scenario
  5. Document the service for
    1. End Users
    2. Service Providers
    3. Service Maintainers

titlePilot goals

Please describe the goals of pilot, including activities, participants, the community(ies) that require a solution. Describe when the pilot is done and how to measure the success of it, in a SMART way.

  • It develops an initial (crude but working) demo of the service
  • Defines target audience and collects target audience
  • Collects requirements from target audience
  • Provides all basic required functionality
  • Gathers initial feedback from potential users
  • Paves the way towards PLM cycles if required
  • Contributes to validating associated cost model
