Description
The EGI CheckIn Service enables research communities to access EGI and community services through a central security proxy service. Researchers from home organizations that participate in one of the eduGAIN federations will be able to access services using the same credentials they are using at their home organization. Furthermore, the EGI AAI CheckIn Service supports user authentication with social media identities, enabling even those users who do not have a federated account at a home organization (such as many users that belong to the “long tail of science”). The EGI AAI CheckIn service can connect to existing community based AAIs and it can be offered as an “Identity Access Management as a Service” to those communities, which do not have or do not want to operate their own AAIs.
