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 of or the campus. Rather then force these users to use e.g. social accounts to authenticate for academic servicesaccounts, or have accounts created locally, this project activity investigates if and how the exiting existing IdM within the companies they work for may be used as external IdPs.

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.

• support public - private collaboration which is core to scientific collaborations. 
• allow institutions to more easily offer courses to corporate
• would make corporate IdP users first class citizens; 
• would potentially improve LoA of guest login; 
• would enhance eduGAIN as the source of federated identity in R&E

How do data protection and privacy impact this Incubator project? Think about e.g. handling of personal data of users

When this Incubator project is completed, do you intend to continue using the solution? If yes, can you describe how you intent to sustain it? (E.g. through own staff, by using an e-Infrastructure provider, ...)

• A report on the feasibility of and model for using corporate Identity in R&E federations
• Optionally a test implementation, e.g. in collaboration with eduTEAMS
