A company or organization that wants to provide services that rely on identities provided by SWAMID members does not usually need to become a member of SWAMID. A service provider only must accept the SWAMID Metadata Terms of Use (ToU). This acceptance does not have to be communicated to SWAMID. However, you need to register your service in SWAMID metadata before the home organisations users can reach your service. |
NOTE WELL |
Is your service provider already published to the interfederation eduGAIN by another federation?
We have an opt-out policy regarding eduGAIN for SWAMID Identity Providers, so you should already been able to communicate with most SWAMID member institutions. You may need to talk to the federation that publishes your metadata to eduGAIN about which eduGAIN enabled entity categories to use to get the appropriate attributes released by our IdPs.
If you still want to register your service with SWAMID:
Review and decide to accept the SWAMID Metadata Terms of Use (ToU). If you accept the ToU you do not need to communicate this to SWAMID Operations.
To make the login work smoother for your users you need to get the right attributes from the Identity Providers. To make it more easy to get the right attributes you need to follow the instructions below.
