Page History

REFEDS offers a wide range of advice and guidance on best practice for research and education federations. This space is divided into the following sections:

Info

title	Value Proposition

REFEDS has created a document describing

the value proposition for federations

The Value Proposition for Identity Federations. This is a good place

to start if you are considering implementing an identity federation and need more background information

and support.

Info

title	Business Case

JISC created a Business Case document to help Identity Providers make the case internally for the work required to

implement SAML. The document was written at the beginning of the UK Access Management Federation but is still

valid and a valuable resource.
The Jisc Identity Management Toolkit may also be a useful resource.

Info

title	Policy Template

The GÉANT project created a Federation Policy Template to help new and emerging federations quickly

understand the requirements for federation policy and to support an interoperable approach to policy

creation and implementation. Federations are encouraged to use this template.
A downloadable version for editing is also available.

Info

title	Metadata Registration

Understanding the Metadata Registration Practices of federations is key to understanding the trust framework for the

federation. REFEDS and GÉANT have created a template Metadata Registration Practice Statement and federations are

encouraged to use this template. This statement is a requirement for federations joining eduGAIN: MRPS-templatev1.

pdf (pdf) MRPS-templatev1.docx (word). Also available in Markdown format on Github.
