Identity Provider Hosting

The SWITCHaai Identity Provider Hosting allows organizations to outsource operations and maintenance of an Identity Provider (IdP) to SWITCH. The service is primarily targeted at small and medium institutions who do not have sufficient resources to acquire or maintain the know-how for operating their own Shibboleth-based Identity Provider.

How the institution's IT benefits

IdP Hosting is a service offered by SWITCH to members of the SWITCH Community and to other entitled SWITCHaai Participants as a reliable and cost-efficient alternative to operating the IdP oneself.

Requirements

• Your organization runs a user directory
• Your organization is a SWITCHaai Participant and is entitled to run its own IdP in the SWITCHaai Federation
