This page contains the SSO Descriptors of some of the BeSTGRID Federation entities. The primary source of the federation metadata is at the WAYF server at https://wayf.bestgrid.org/metadata/bestgrid-metadata.xml Use the data on this page for demonstration purposes only, and refer to the URL above for authoritative source. The WAYF server has a certificate issued by the APACGrid CA (download root certificate).
For information on how to update the metadata, please see the page Updating Federation Metadata.
When editing the metadata, please keep in mind the following:
- For an IdP, the value of the
KeyName
element inKeyDescriptors
MUST match the hostname of the IdP. - For an IdP, the value of
shib:Scope
gives the permitted value of Scope - and MUST be the same for both occurrences in the IDP definition. - For an IdP, the Artifact resolution services is only accessible via port 8443 - the URL listed for
ArtifactResolutionService
MUST include the port, 8443.
This is UoA production IdP which requires UoA cosign authentication and will look up the user data in production LDAP. The SSL certificate has been signed by Thawte Premium Server CA.
Please find its SSO descriptor below:

At the time of writing, all BeSTGRID Shibboleth entities are in testing stage.
The Open IdP is a Shibboleth Identity provider with a web interface which would allow users to register their details (without any verification). This allows them to use Shibboleth without the burden of installing an IdP at their site. It might also be a good mechanism for the slow and controlled adoption of Shibboleth in an institution which might have a small audience.
