ACOnet operates the ACOnet OpenIDPa self-service SAML Identity Provider for members and guests of ACOnet participants. This service is open to everyone needing to access federated resources from eduID.at members who is lacking credentials at a SAML IDP known to the relevant service.

Registration of an ACOnet OpenIDP account only provides a means to authenticate. Use of this service does not imply access to any specific resource or service, as this remains the service owner's sole responsibility. Likewise, service owners are reminded that successful authentication at any [inter-]federated SAML IdP should not necessarily be equated with successful authorization. Always protect your resources with proper access rules based on attributes provided (such as eduPersonScopedAffiliation) unless your service is in fact open to everyone & everything that can self-register an account and authenticate.

Attributes sent by the ACOnet OpenIDP

Subjects may enter any profile data they want during the account registration phase, so relying on any of the data provided should only be done with extreme caution.

Warnung

The only piece of data which is verified in some sense is the email address, which will be used during account generation, so it must be deliverable and accessible to the subject registering the account – at least at the time of the account creation.

The following attributes will be issued by the OpenIDP to any Service Provider known to it (i.e., all eduID.at Service Providers):

(only in few cases) 
urn:oid:1.3.6.1.4.1.5923.1.1.1.7For application owners the OpenIDP allows the provisioning of entitlement values via a proprietary API. E.g. after the u:book support team (see below) has verified someone's identity and eligibility ("studentness") status, they are able to store that fact in an entitlement specific to their services, e.g. https://guests.ubook.at (to express the fact that someone should be entitled to use the services u:book offers).

Info

If you have an account at a eduID.at member institution always use your institutional account instead of registering a new one at the OpenIDP. Save yourself the additional registration step, creating and remembering Yet Another username and password. An OpenIDP account will not give you any additional rights or permissions. If you already have registered an OpenIDP account unnecessarily please contact the owners of the services you used it with (not ACOnet, who cannot help here) and ask them to transfer your user data to your institutional account.

These services are known to externalize their credentials management to the ACOnet OpenIDP, so they don't have to manage, keep secure and support passwords themselfs:
