The aim of this activity is design and implement a fully functional SAML IdP that can be used to perform individual integration test by community members. |
Activity Details
Panel |
---|
|
This activity creates a freely available, realistic test IdP for the GÉANT community. Based on the needs of the GÉANT community, the solution may offer SAML, OIDC and supports all the latest best practices. In the past, there were similar offers like UnitedID or samltest.id. However, the UnitedID solution does no longer exist and samltest does not support required features like the release of R&S. To achieve this task, the Incubator has to define the use cases which are needed by the community. The requirements and use cases for such a service will be defined in collaboration with a group of community representatives. Potential features of such a tool are: - Test for a specific set of attributes
- Create an account to save a test profile
- An open (REST) API to configure the IdP using a (web) client
There are different potential business cases for deployment: as part of the eduGAIN support tools, by GÉANT operations or NREN hosted. |

Operators need a reliable way to test their providers. This enables the early detection of errors in the configuration and increases the quality of the entities in eduGAIN in the long term. |

- It yields some difficulties to ensure the sustainability of such a service

- The activity itself does not handle any sensitive data
- The service is supposed to be used only for testing using test data
- The design of any centrally must consider security and privacy principles
#How do data protection and privacy impact the Activity? Think about e.g. handling of personal data of users - delete this line after using the template#
