Service provider

[Rod Widdowson]

I don't have the precise rules in my head but I'd suggest that you just ping
an email to UK Federation support and they will let you know whether these
people can be members.

> Should they register with any other organisation 

There is no should.  It is really a matter of scaling - if they will be sell
to other members of the UK federation (and shortly I hope the Irish one)
then it will be worth their while since they only have to speak to one
person.  If you are likely to be the only customer then it will be much
easier for them to just exchange metadata.  You need to do slightly more
work this way (because you would need to do nothing if they join the UK
Federation). -

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
