ACOnet Identity Federation

The ACOnet Identity Federation is as service by ACOnet, the Austrian Academic Computer Network (NREN) for science, research, education and culture. It currently defines two main services (called Technical Profiles in the Policy):

eduroam

eduroam allows users of participating institutions to access the wireless network at other participating organizations using their home institution's credentials. All this with a minimal adminstrative overhead. Depending on local policies at the visited institutions, eduroam participants may also have additional resources at their disposal.

See http://www.eduroam.at/ for a list of participaring organizations.
See eduroam in this wiki for technical information.

eduID.at

eduID.at allows service providers (like libraries, research or collaboration tools) to grant users from other "federated" organizations access to their services -- without having to locally manage usernames and associated passwords. eduID.at is an Authentication and Authorization Infrastructure (AAI) based on SAML 2.0 and the saml2int deployment profile.

See http://www.aco.net/federation.html for an overview.
See eduID.at in this wiki for technical information.
