titleDescription

Many research collaborations as well as campus services need a solution to deal with guest identity, as in many cases not all users are members of the academic Identity Federations.

In several cases these users are working for a commercial company that has a relation with the research community or the campus. Rather then force these users to use e.g. social accounts to authenticate for academic services, this project investigates if and how the exiting IdM within the companies may be used as external IdPs.

titleActivity goals
This activity should investigate technical, legal and business case aspects.

Activity Details

Panel
titleTechnical details

One angle to investigate here is a possible collaboration with commercial providers of hosted solutions like e.g. Ping Identity and OKTA to discuss if we can connect to their proxies for shared benefit to our and their customers.

This pilot aims to bring such Identity Providers into the IDhub solution, and hence into eduGAIN, with formal support from the vendors.
