ACOnet publishes several SAML Metadata documents for differing uses, some of which are documented below.
Service Providers only providing services to ACOnet participants can use this limited Metadata document, which only contains entities registered with ACOnet. I.e., Identity Providers owned by formal ACOnet Federation members who are bound by the ACOnet Identity Federation Policy:
All other Federation members will want to make use of the Interfederation-enabled Metadata document, which contains all eduID.at members as well as any SAML entities known via Interfederation agreements, such as eduGAIN. Those interfederated entities are bound by the policies of their respective Registrars or Home Federations.
Federation members who should use this Metadata document include:
- Service Providers registered with ACOnet also offering their services via Interfederation, as well as
- all Identity Providers within ACOnet, including but not limited to those participating in Interfederation.
