eduroam Managed IdP service should transition from its pilot under the JRA3, into the SA2 production operations. The exit pilot gate was approved by the PLM on 25th of June , officially marking the start of transition.
Relation to pilot The pilot is running on testing-level virtual machines (Okeanos). A continuation on those VMs is not foreseen. The production system is an installation "from scratch". Accounts created in the pilot installation remain valid until their expiry, or 01 Dec 2018 (whichever comes FIRST; expiry date of intermediate CA). For the RADIUS authentication of these pilot-phase accounts, there are two options:
We have to keep the management UI and the OCSP responder online until 01 Dec 2018 so that activities such as revocation are still possible. However, pilot-phase IdP administrators should not create new accounts on the pilot system when the production one is available. |
The transition generally consist of the following areas of work:
- Documentation preparation and signoff
- Test and Validation
- GDPR compliance checking
- IPR compliance checking
- Operational team establishment
- Operational team training
- Support team establishment
- Support team training
- Operational deployment
- Service promotion

The page should then go under the Support menu, underneath CAT. To be linked from the eduroam for NRO page and eduroam for institutions. On the institutions’ page, note that the institution needs to talk to their NRO to get the service, as the relationship is between GEANT and the NRO.
