These are the simple steps to join the ACOnet Identity Federation as a member:

For registration of SAML Service Providers please indicate where to get an instance of the SAML 2.0 Metadata describing your Service Provider (e.g. from another academic Identity Federations, such as InCommon, UK Federation, SWITCHaai, etc.).

Unless the SAML metadata contains that already, please also indicate:

  1. What attributes the service needs in order to function properly and what they are used for. Additional attributes not strictly needed for the service (but which may provide for a better user experience if available) may be listed separately, clearly indicating their optional status. See What attributes are relevant for a Service Provider for guidance.
  2. A display name and short (1 paragraph max.) description of the service (in English; will also accept German)
  3. The name and email address of the technical contact to be published with the SAML entity description (role accounts strongly recommended)
  4. A URL to the Privacy Policy covering this service. See Privacy policy guidelines for Service Providers for more.
  5. An HTTPS URL referencing a logo for the service, if available (PNG format preferred).
