Service provider

[Andrew McInnes]

Hi the SP is UK based and are just a software house that produce an eLearning system for ROSPa accredited health and safety courses. They have no direct relation to HE or FE education other than we are using them to meet our health and safety compliance as a college.

Should they register with any other organisation or are they able to simply setup as a service provider and we trust them to authenticate against us as and IdP?

Many thanks,

Andy

If us based the vendor should be strongly encouraged to be sponsored as a sp using InCommon as the trust authority.   Especially if they are ahigher ed provider.

Hi,

We are about to setup shibboleth to allow staff to access a third party health and safety learning system using their network logins.

The health and safety software vender has set themselves up as a service provider and have configured SimpleSAMLphp and tested against OpenIdP (https://openidp.feide.no).

Once we are setup as an IdP will it be ok to use them as a service provider and is there any registration we would need to do in order to do this?

Many thanks,

Andy
