2 February 2015 at 4:32pm
The GEANT project has published a report of its Enabling Users task. This worked with a number of international e-science communities to help them implement federated access management solutions using the eduGAIN interfederation service. The projects described are:
- Enabling bilateral authentication between CERN and members of eduGAIN federations;
- Enabling federated access to DARIAH services through eduGAIN;
- Enabling federated access to the ELIXIR Resource Entitlement Management System (REMS) through eduGAIN;
- Prepare ESA identity and service providers for future eduGAIN availability;
- Enabling federated access to various GEANT services;
- Develop a bridge between Umbrella and federated login accounts.
The knowledge gained - at technical and policy levels - through these pilots is expected to help future deployments of federated access management in research communities.
