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 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 they work for may be used as external IdPs. One angle to invistigate here is a possible collaboration with commertial providers of hosted proxy solutions like e.g. Ping Identity and OKTA to investigate of we can connect to their proxies for shared benefit for our and their customers

This pilot aims to bring such Identity Providers into the IDhub solution, with formal support from the vendors. It also investigates the (technical) improvements needed to better scale the IDhub solution and will begin a dialog with the service activities to make the pilot move towards a full service offering under the GEANT umbrella.

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.
