Adopted Authentication & Authorisation Technologies
The DARIAH infrastructure blocks are built within national initiatives. AAI is based on SAML authentication combined with attribute aggregation. A DARIAH homeless account is available.
Personal data of users are stored in a central clustered LDAP server. Group memberships that provide access to services and Wiki spaces, as well as the user data are managed via a web-based administration portal. Attribute queries, as defined in SAML and implemented in Shibboleth, are used to aggregate information from the campus IdP and the DARIAH Attribute Authority implemented in the DARIAH IdP. A registration mechanism based on a central DARIAH SP ensures that all personal data that are are needed, but not provided by the Campus IdPs, are collected as self-asserted data from the user. The DARIAH IdP thus acts as an IdP-AA, but not as an SP, i.e. it is not a proxy.
