REFEDS is asking all institutions that have an Identity Provider within a Research and Education Identity Federation to support "R&S". Here is why.
| |
| |
| REFEDS has identified a small set of attributes that work for a large majority of our research and scholarship services – these are name, email address and a unique identifier for the user.
|
| A challenge for institutions using Identity Federations is working out which Service Providers have a genuine need for attributes and configuring an attribute release policy for each service.
|
| “R&S” addresses this problem for you. The audit of service providers is done by your federation against legal requirements and attribute release is automatically applied to the service decreasing the overhead for Identity Providers and barriers to access for your users.
