How to join eduGAIN as a service provider
eduGAIN is an interfederation service that interconnects academic identity federations around the world, and so interconnects service providers and identity providers.
For an explanation of the benefits to library service providers and how to join, download the leaflet “How to reach global customers with Federated Identity Management” (PDF).
Or see eduGAIN’s step-by-step instruction ‘How to join eduGAIN as a service provider’. Please note that this route implies that a service provider will join a national federation first.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row]
