Hello,

 

In the United States, even though InCommon (the US R&E identity federation) is operated by Internet2 (US’s NREN), InCommon membership spans quite a bit beyond Internet2 membership. You can find more information about who is eligible to join the InCommon Federation here: https://incommon.org/federation/federation-join/

Hello,

 

Please help us understand and act the best possible way in the following

matter, maybe there are/were similar cases in other federations:

 

EduGain is a service supported by GEANT, gathering identity federations

established mainly by NRENs, so a reasonable conclusion is that

beneficiary IdP institutions are members of NRENs or have some sort of

relation with NREN. Please correct me if it is a wrong assumption.

 

We have a request to join eduGain as an IdP from an accredited by the

Ministry of Education private university, with which we did not have any

relation (until this request). They are not connected to our network and

do not use any service from us, so first reaction seems to be a no go.

Any information regarding how other federations deal with such cases can

help us to decide further.

Our policy does not cover this case, maybe an update will be worth too.

 

Best wishes,

Valeriu.
