Motivation
Federated identity services could significantly simplify access to the infrastructure. Introducing federated identity mechanisms in EGI is a requirement from many communities. This VT project would take a step towards this direction, by assessing the readiness of the NGIs in adopting some type of federated identity provision mechanism for accessing services (e.g. Terena Certificate Services). Several NGIs have done developments towards this direction, these achivements should be collected and assessed by this VT.
Output
The expected output of this project is a process on the current coverage of NGIs with federated identity provision services and recommendation on mechanisms to increase the federated identity providers coverage within EGI. The report can be used by both the NGIs and EGI.eu outside of this VT to increase the coverage.
Tasks
- Assess the coverage of Terena Certificate Providers in NGIs
- Collect info about other types of federated identity services that NGIs already use
