Scope
We have already defined that user authentication should be based on X.509 certificates rather than usernames and passwords or other credential material. Nevertheless, depending on the type of federation intended, this may not even be a real requirement. Any service should rely on an identity provider that is in charge of the type of credentials used for authentication.
For the technical implementations of this scenario, please go to Federated AAI Implementation.
A quick overview of AAI support in technologies and providers, as well as the specific settings for FCTF can be found at Federated AAI Integration Status.
There are also various technologies that support translating Federated Identity to an X.509. In general, these allow a user to authenticate with some other technology (e.g., SAML), typically within a web portal, which then has an X.509 credential with which it can interact with EGI resources.
