AAI usage guide

Overview

This wiki page contains information about registering an account with the EGI AAI in order to access a variety of EGI tools and services using the same account.

Signing Up for an EGI Account

To access EGI resources, you need to sign up for an account. As part of this process you will be assigned a personal EGI ID, which will then be used across all EGI tools and services. To register, follow the instructions below:

1. Enter the following URL in a browser: https://aai.egi.eu/signup
2. Select your identity provider from the discovery page:
   1. browse through the list of identity providers to find your Home Organisation; or
   2. type the name of your Home Organisation in the search box. Note that this filter only matches entries within the currently selected view (tab) of identity providers and is localised based on the selected language.
3. If you do not already have an EGI account associated to the selected identity, you will be redirected to the account registration form. Depending on the attributes released by your identity provider, you will need to go through one of the following account registration processes:
   1. Self-service Sign Up: Allows you to join the EGI User Community without approval by an administrator if all the information below is asserted by your Home Organisation:
      1. at least one of the following unique user identifiers:
         1. your pseudonymous, non-reassignable identifier (eduPersonUniqueId attribute);
         2. your name-based identifier (eduPersonPrincipalName attribute);
         3. your pseudonymous identifier (eduPersonTargetedID attribute or SAML persistent identifier)
      2. your first name (givenName attribute)
      3. your surname (sn attribute)
      4. your email address (mail attribute)
      5. your role in your Home Organisation (eduPersonScopedAffiliation attribute)
   2. Sign Up: If any of the information above cannot be released by your Home Organisation, your request to join the EGI User Community must be approved by an EGI User Sponsor. You may optionally select a particular Sponsor through the dropdown list in the registration form.
